Class: Introduction to Knitting Socks on Double-Pointed Needles

August 10, 17, and 24 (Monday) | 6:00-8:00 | $75

There are still two spots available in this class.

This class is not for the new knitter; but it would be great for someone already experienced with casting on, both the knit and purl stitches, and increasing and decreasing. During the three weeks of this class a sock will be made using double-pointed needles and sport-weight yarn.



Week one will be casting on, learning how to handle the double-pointed needles, and knitting the cuff (homework will include knitting the leg of the sock to the length you would like).

Week two will be working the heel flap and turning the heel, picking up stitches along the heel flap, and doing the gusset decreases (homework will include finishing the gusset decreasing and knitting the foot of the sock to within two inches of your foot length).

Week three will be decreasing for the toe, and the Kitchener stitch closing of the toe.


What you need to know how to do:
- cast on
- the knit stitch
- the purl stitch

What we'll teach you how to do:
