Two-at-a-Time Socks Workshop with Fiona Morris
£60.00
To take part in this workshop, please make sure you already know how to knit a basic sock
You may be one of the many sock knitters that loves making the first sock but loses enthusiasm to knit the second sock. An alternative approach is to knit the two socks at the same time.
This course is a one day course and uses chunky yarns to allow for time and to make a lovely cosy pair of bed socks.
You will learn:
+ Knitting in the round using Magic Loop
+ Casting on two socks in the correct sequence
+ Joining the cast on stitches into a circle without twisting the cast on edge
+ Working a rib pattern
+ Knitting the heel flap
+ Knitting the heel turn
+ Picking up stitches for the gusset and going back to joining in the round
