Beginning Knitting

Prerequisite: None
Materials Needed: 1 pair of #7 needles and a ball of coolspun cotton

Materials Needed: 1 skein Cascade Superwash 220, 1 #6 - 16" circular needle, and 1 #6 24" circular needle.

This class is designed for knitters who have never made socks but want to feel the love, for those who have tried making socks but have failed and are willing to give it another try, for those who have made the proverbial single sock, never to have finished the pair, and for those who have tried making socks with double points and want to learn another way.

We will make boot socks on 2 circular needles, two at a time, and will break down the steps to make it easy peasy for all of us! This class takes place over 3 weeks, giving the student time to work on the socks and actually finish a pair, while learning all the important techniques and methods to ensure success. Once completed, you will be able to translate what you learned for all sock knitting and understand how to make 2 of any item at a time, like 2 fingerless mitts.
