Delicious on the feet, and great as gifts. Sock knitting is where it is at. After spending a few hours with Ophelie learning the ins and outs, you will have them totally sorted. 

Teacher: Ophelie Lechat

Workshop Duration: Half Day

Description:  This class will walk you through the full sock making process: working the cuff, leg, heel flap, heel gusset, foot and toe. This will be done by knitting a half-size sock (the resulting sock will fit a child). 

Students will start by casting on for their sock (and learning how to knit in the round if you haven’t yet). While everyone is working on the cuff and leg, we will cover sock anatomy, yarn choice, needle choice, and decorative options.

We’ll then work the heel flap and turn the heel before knitting the gusset, the foot and the toe, finishing with either a Kitchener toe. 

Materials:  Students will need approximately 100g of 10ply yarn and a set of four 4.5mm double-pointed needles.

Takeaway: Students will leave with the skills needed to follow a sock pattern, and with a finished (or nearly finished!) half-size sock.

Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate.  Students need to be able to knit, purl, and decrease confidently. Skills such as picking up stitches and working on DPNs will be taught during the class.
