Toe up socks are widely preferred by sock knitters because they fit better, and there is no grafting required!
However, to a newer sock knitter, toe up socks can be a bit of a mystery. This 3-session class is geared to walk you through the construction of 1 basic toe up sock. Topics will include provisional cast on method, toe construction methods, heel construction methods, calculating for the length of the sock foot, and stretchy bind off techniques.
Class fee will include 2 skeins of yarn. Class participants will be required to bring or purchase double point needles (DPNs), 2 circular needles, or 1 long circular needle for magic loop method. Recommended needle size is US 5 (3.75mm). Class participants will need to bring stich markers, sock rulers, gauge ruler, and darning needle. It is recommended class participants purchase the book “Socks from the Toe Up” by Wendy D. Johnson. Supplies can be purchased at Get Stitchin'

Students will learn: knit stitch, purl stitch, cast on, bind off, knitted ribbing, seed stitch, and methods to increase and decrease stitches. They will use these skills to make simple fingerless mitts. This class is for anyone who has never knitted or wants a refresher on basic skills.
Learn to cast on your stitches, including a slip-knot using the long-tail cast-on method. Then progress onto the knit stitch to begin adding length to your first project!
One of Juli’s favorite things in the quilting world is to teach others to perfect their skills. Juli is available for private in-studio lessons or teaching a group at your church, temple, guild, or community center. All you need is the desire and your imagination.
As we reopen in-shop classes we have a small group capacity of 4 students per instructor. We are interested in maximizing your learning experience and our collective safety. Please note, all class fees are non-refundable.
