Handmade seamless socks are so cozy! Learn the basics of sock construction so you can have an endless supply for yourself! In this class, we will make a short version of a sock so we will have time to practice all the techniques involved in creating a pair. You will learn the parts of a sock, working cuff down in the round, turning the heel, working the gusset, shaping the toe, the kitchener stitch, and tips on sizing your socks.

Experienced sock knitters will unlock the secrets (math) to sock construction so you can make any size sock in any yarn you want!
