Learn to make socks with this pretty mock-cable pattern!
There are many skills involved in making socks - from short rows to picking up stitches, increasing and decreasing, working in the round, and grafting.
In this class, we’ll walk you through the construction of a sock. You will work from the cuff down to the heel; turn a heel; create a gusset; knit the toe decreases; and Kitchener stitch.And do all of it while making a lovely mock-cable pattern.
The pattern: Hibernal DK Socks by Summer Lee
Date: Tuesday October 27 and November 10 from 7 - 9 PM
Instructor: Cathy
Prerequisite skills: You must already know how to knit in the round.
Materials: (not included) DK weight yarn - we recommend two skeins of CoopKnits Socks Yeah DK, 3.25mm needles (either double pointed or 32” circular for magic loop), darning needle, stitch marker
HOMEWORK:
Before the first class, please complete the cuff of one sock.
Choose your sock size, based on the measurement around the ball of your foot:
S (7" / 18 cm) M (8"/ 20 cm) L (9"/ 23 cm) XL (10"/ 25 cm)
S(M, L, XL)
Using the needles and yarn as listed above, CO 40 (48, 56, 64) sts and join for working in the round, being careful not to twist your sts. Establish 1 x 1 rib pattern: [k1, p1] around to end.
Continue working 1 × 1 rib pattern until cuff measures 2" / 5 cm, or your desired length.
