Sock Knitting Workshop

This knitting workshop will take place on a Monday evening between 7pm and 9pm over the course of three weeks (15th Apr, 22nd Apr & 29th Apr) 

This will be a fun, welcoming class and is suitable for those who are already comfortable with knit and purl stitches.

Full demonstrations will be given along with lots of tips to help you make a beautiful hand knit sock.

There will be plenty opportunity to ask questions and trouble shoot any problems you might be having throughout the workshop.

If you want to knit the whole sock during this workshop, some knitting will be required between classes.

You will learn:

• Stretchy cast on

• How to work with double pointed needles

• How to work with short circular needles

• How to knit using magic loop

• Which fibres work best

• Working in the round

• How to knit ribbing

• How to turn a heel

• Picking up stitches without gaps

• How to shape the gusset

• How to finish with kitchener stitch

You will need:You can browse the 4 ply yarn here

100g of 4ply yarn suitable for socks (ideally a yarn with at least 25% nylon content) You can browse the 4 ply yarn here. It would be helpful if you could order yarn in advance so I can have it wound and ready to use before the class.

Short circular needles, I'd recommend 2.5mm 25cm (any longer and you’ll struggle to move the stitches around the needle)

Double pointed needles, 2.5mm, 15-20cm long.

Needles and yarn can be purchased on the first night if required. 

Classes are limited to 8 people.
