We will begin with a miniature sock, perfect for decoration or as the first half of a baby gift. You’ll learn how to make a heel flap, turn a heel, and pick up gusset stitches. At the second session, you will learn to finish the toe with kitchener stitch. You can use your preferred method for knitting small circumferences: double pointed needles, two circular needles, or magic loop. For the first class, you will need to bring worsted weight yarn, needles to match your yarn, and a yarn needle. For the second class you can bring the particular pattern you would like to knit next and we’ll talk about other sock knitting methods, such as toe up and short row heels and get you started with your next sock.

Magic Loop

Magic Loop is a great way to knit small items like socks, sleeves, and mittens in the round. Many people find it easier to learn than double pointed needles. I will provide a pattern for a newborn baby hat, but bring your own small circumference pattern if you prefer. Bring dk weight yarn (or yarn for your pattern) and a 40 inch circular needle appropriate to the yarn
