Sock Workshop

Sock Workshop- Vanilla Socks (Pattern by  Ancient Arts Yarns-Caroline Summerfeld)

Oct 1, 8th, 15th

4:30-5:30pm

              This will be a 3 session class covering anatomy of socks, sock sizing, basic heel flap, gusset construction and seamed toe.

Yardage Needed: 200-500 m of fingering weight yarn.**

**Yardage requirements will vary vastly based on size and foot length. Generally, you should be able to make a pair of child size socks out of 50 g of sock yarn, a women's pair out of 100 g and only for the largest sizes (usually men's) you'll need more than 100 g.

Needles: 2.5 mm DPN set or Circular needles. Magic loop skills encouraged but not required.

Skill Requirement: Basic knitting.

*Should anyone feel they need more focused help, private sessions are available for booking.

-------------

For the sock class I plan on it being about 3 hours broken into 3 sessions.

Session 1: Anatomy of socks, Measuring everyone's foot for sock, Cast-on and pattern beginnings. Homework: Students knit between 3 to 6 " of sock after cuff construction (depending on preference).

Session 2:  Heel flap & Gusset Homework: Knit foot until it's 1.5" shorter than needed for toes/full length

Session 3:  Toe work & finish
