Description
We will be doing two things in this class: (1) knitting a miniature toe-up sock, so that participants can experience all the parts of toe-up sock knitting; and (2) using our foot measurements, knitting gauge, and math to work out the recipe for knitting socks to fit our feet. Students will leave the class with a miniature toe-up sock and a personal recipe for knitting their own full-sized toe-up socks.
Participants should bring:
- 1 yard of waste yarn (preferably not feltable wool) close to the same size as the main yarn
- 5 yards of yarn in a size between fingering and worsted weight
- A set of double-pointed needles that work best with the chosen yarn
- A crochet hook sized to work with that yarn
