Practice Sock Heels and Toes on DPNs

Description:

The options for making socks are endless--make fine dress socks or warm slipper socks, use different colors for the heels and toes, add an interesting stitch pattern or technique, use a self-striping or patterning yarn, or experiment with different cuffs, heels, and toes. The choices are all there to make your socks as ewe+nique as you are!

Sometimes it helps to really know the basics, though, and that’s what this workshop will give you. In this class, our instructor will share, their sock-making knowledge with as you knit a “practice sock.” focusing on the heel flap, the heel turn, instep, and the Kitchner stitch.
