Ready to dip your toes into sock knitting? Start small! In this three-hour workshop taught by sock PRO Judy, you’ll make a mini sock while learning the techniques you’ll need to tackle a full-sized pair.

CHOOSE YOUR TECHNIQUE:

October 17 — Cuff Down
Learn the classic cuff-down construction, from the cuff through the heel and toe.

November 14 — Toe Up
Try the toe-up approach and learn how the construction differs from cuff-down socks.

Take both and learn two ways to knit a sock—because why settle for one when you can have options?

A Few Things to Know

You must be comfortable with these basics:  you should know casting on, knitting, purling, working decreases and knitting in the round.

Both workshops use Magic Loop, so you’ll need a 32" US 2 circular needle.

A pattern will be provided in class. One skein of sock yarn is plenty for the mini sock, with enough left over to knit a full pair of socks.

Come make a tiny sock, learn some new tricks, and get ready for the big leagues.

Materials:

  •  Yarn for CUFF-DOWN class: Mini skein of fingering yarn or
    1 skein fingering yarn if continuing onto a full-size pair of socks
  •  Yarn for TOE-UP class: One mini skein of fingering yarn and 1 full skein of fingering yarn
  • FOR BOTH CLASSES:
  •  Needle Size for both classes: US 2/ 2.75 mm, 32 inch circular needle
  •  One stitch marker
  •  One darning needle
  •  Fish Lip Kiss if taking toe-up class

Cuff-down and Toe-up Classes

The student will master the foundational skills of cuff-down and toe-up sock construction in just two 3 hour classes using a student friendly adaptation of the famous Hermiones Everyday Sock and Fish Lips Kiss patterns. Practice essential techniques on a low stress mini sock. Leave class with a finished mini project and the skills to knit full-sized socks at home.

Technique guide for cuff down class: Magic loop, Cable cast on, Garter stitch edged Partridge heel, Finchley graph

Technique guide for toe up sock class: Judy's Magic cast on, Magic loop, Helical stripes, Twin Stitch heel, and a Sewn bind off.
