Beginner Knitted Sock Class

Hand knit socks are so warm and you have so many fun choices of color. In this class we will make a heavy weight boot sock using worsted weight yarn and double pointed needles. Once you've learned all the construction techniques of a basic sock you can switch to lighter weight yarns and smaller needles. This class will consist of 3 session. We'll be using a pattern from Knitting Pure and Simple which is included in the cost of the class. Prerequisite skills: knit, purl, increase, decrease
Class 1: Getting started.
Class 2: Heel Flap & Gusset
Class 3: Finishing the Toe
