Introduction to Sock Knitting Workshop - Sunday 6th, 13th & 20th October 2024, 10am-12pm

I’m super excited that you are interested in making your first pair of knitted socks. I remember making my first pair and being blown away with such a sense of achievement and I know you will too.

What you should know before booking:

This course is perfect for people who are already happy and experienced with casting-on and knitting/purling in the round and have some experience with increasing and decreasing.  Experience of using the magic loop technique when knitting in the round is very beneficial but not 100% compulsory.

We will learn how to knit a cuff down sock with a heel flap, heel turn, gusset and a grafted toe.

You will need to bring a pair of 3.5mm circular needles with a tip to tip length of at least 32". These can be purchased in store on the day if needed.

The following items are included in the price of the workshop

Sock Pattern .

100g of spectacular Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande sock yarn made from extra fine merino and a small amount of nylon for strength. Worth £22 if purchased separately.

a set of 9" short sock circular needles. Worth £9 is purchased separately.

Darning needles, scissors and tape measure for use in class
