Simple Socks Course- Learn to knit your first pair of socks, Wednesday March 12th, 19th & 26th 7pm - 9pm

Handmade socks are one of life's little pleasures. They can be customised to fit your foot exactly, are relatively quick to knit, are perfect for on the go knitting and make great gifts! This course will take place over 3 sessions with some knitting required in-between. Each session is 2 hours and we will cover different techniques each week as your sock grows. By the end of the course you will have a fully finished sock (or maybe even a pair!)

Week One: Picking your sock size, stretchy cast on, using DPNs and gauge.

Week Two: Reinforced heel flap, short row heel turn and gusset pick up.

Week Three: Toe decreases, kitchener stitch and finishing.

The course will include your printed sock pattern but you will need 3.25mm DPNs (double pointed needles) and 100g of DK sock yarn. You are welcome to buy these from us on the day or beforehand with a 10% discount! Feel free to bring your own supplies if you wish. The class takes place on Wednesday evening 7pm - 9pm, March 12th, 19th and 26th. Please make sure you can make all three dates before booking.

Tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided and you will also get a 10% discount on anything you buy in store on the day! 

Important: This class is not for absolute beginners. Participants should be comfortable  knitting and purling and have some experience reading a pattern. Experience with decreasing and working in the round is desirable, but not required. We will be using double pointed needles for this class.
