Love knitting but intimidated by the detail and contour of socks? Learn simple shaping techniques that can be applied to any sock pattern, tricks for reinforcing heavy-wear areas, and how to combine the best yarn, pattern and needles to make top-down socks for any season. In this workshop we’ll knit a Mini Sock that covers all of the techniques you’ll need for knitting full size socks, including:

• Working in the round on Double Pointed Needles.


• Elastic cast ons and cuffs.


• Turning the heel.


• Tapering the toe.


• Reinforcing techniques for heel and sole.

During the workshop we will also discuss selecting the best yarn for durability, stretch, and pattern type; sizing and fitting; care and repair.

Skills + Materials
This is a beginner+/intermediate workshop; suitable for folks with basic knitting skills who are ready to start more advanced shaping and pattern work. Supplies are not included in the workshop fee. Students should plan to bring yarn and DPNs (Double Pointed Needles) for the yarn weight you'd like to work with. For instance, you can bring US0-3 DPNs alongside 50g of Fingering weight yarn OR US5-6 DPNs and 50g of DK or Worsted weight yarn. Your DPNs can be 6" or 8" in length (or anything in between!).
