Socks are beloved by some (portable project!), daunting to others (heel flaps? gussets?!). We’ll unravel the mysteries of sock knitting together, using The Sock Project by Summer Lee. It’s an inspiring, colorful book you’ll use over and over. In this class, we'll focus on The Basic Sock pattern, guiding you through cuff-down construction with a sturdy heel flap and gusset. Say goodbye to fit woes and durability concerns as we master essential techniques together.
Whether you're a seasoned sock knitter or a novice, this class is tailored to your needs. Step confidently into the world of sock knitting with us!
