Basics of sock knitting

Whether you are seasoned knitters or starting out, this workshop will guide you step-by-step through the basics of sock knitting, leaving you feeling confident and ready to knit socks!

We will focus on knitting a mini cuff-down sock, which will teach you the key techniques needed for full-sized socks. 

Over the course of four hours, we’ll cover the following:

• The structure of a sock (cuff, leg, heel, foot, toe)
• Understanding why we use specific techniques and yarns
• The different options available for each part of the sock and the benefits of each

By the end of the workshop, you will be confident in knitting a real pair of socks! All you need is a basic understanding of how to knit and purl.
