Socks for Dummies
|
|
This has become another popular class!
This class is a perfect opportunity to
either learn how to knit socks or convert from knitting socks on
double pointed needles or two circulars. We will cover the
structure of socks from cuff down to toe. You will learn to
knit with one circular needle, knitting one sock at one time.
Working the heel flap and turning the heel and picking up
stitches for the gusset will no longer be scary or
intimidating. You will learn several ways of decreasing and how
to finish your socks off with the Kitchner Stitch.
