Toe-Up Socks

Discover the greatest approach to sock knitting! Knitting socks from the toe up makes the most of your yarn, and allows you to try it on along the way, thus giving a perfect fit every time. Best of all, no grafting!  Even the most reluctant sock knitter will become a toe-up nut.  In this 2-class series, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about knitting amazing toe-up socks. Knitters will learn Judy’s Magic Cast-On, the why's, what's and how's of the "need-not-be-intimidating" gusset and heel flap, and an amazingly stretchy bind-off.  Students must know how to cast on, knit, purl, increase and decrease. Experience with knitting cuff down socks is recommended, but not required.

Supplies you’ll need. US 1(2.5mm) 40” circular needle; 100 grams light colored fingering weight yarn, locking stitch marker.  Vanilla Toe-Up Sock pattern is included in the class fee, and will be provided on the first day of class.

This is a 2-part in-person class, held at For Yarn's Sake. $75, plus supplies.
