Learn how to make top-down socks. Starting with a mini “training sock”, we teach you everything you need to know to knit socks – from working in the round to turning the heel to shaping the toe. Once you’ve mastered the mini, we get you started on your first full-size sock. Along the way, we share lots of tips and techniques, including easy ways to join the round – without twisting! — handling the gusset pickup, and a beginner-friendly no-graft toe. If you’ve not made socks before, this is the class for you. Kate also demonstrates Magic Loop and patterns provided permit use of both DPNs, magic loop or two circulars.
All classes take place at 6pm in our Kensington Market shop. Please arrive a few minutes early.
Once we have received your order, we will send you an email to confirm and to go over a bit more information.
Please note that these classes are geared towards adults as children tend to learn at a much different speed. If you have a young friend under the age of 16 who would like to learn, please reach out to us directly to make arrangements.
Cancelation Policy: If you need to miss the class, please give us as much notice as you can. We do not offer refunds for missed classes, but if you give us more than 24 hours notice, we will transfer your registration fee to another class or to store credit.
