If you want to up your sock-knitting skills by learning to knit toe-up socks that actually fit, this 2-session virtual class is for you! Finish at least one child-size sock in class while you learn cast-on and bind-off techniques, fitting to foot size, and options for adding in just the right heel. You’ll also learn how to assess and obtain gauge and why swatching and gauge are so important. Then, you can use your new skills to knit socks for anyone.
