Have you always wanted to learn how to knit socks? Now is your chance! This 2-part class takes you step-by-step through a cuff-down sock, from turning the heel to grafting the toe. At the end of class, you will have worked a complete baby sock. Basic sock pattern and full instructions are included with the class, so you can make socks for anyone with any sock yarn!

Materials: 200 yards of a smooth, light-colored worsted weight yarn, needles to work at a medium gauge in stockinette in the round, stitch markers, basic knitting tools.

Homework: You have choices. Depending on what yarn you have available, you can work the homework in any of the 3 sizes:
Fingering weight yarn and a gauge of 7 sts to the inch = newborn size sock
DK weight yarn and a gauge of 6 sts to the inch = baby size sock
Worsted weight yarn and a gauge of 5 sts to the inch = toddler size sock
Cast on 28 sts, join in the round being careful not to twist.
Work 1" of ribbing (can be 1x1 or 2x2)
Work 1-2" of stockinette.
Now you are ready for My First Sock!

About the Instructor: Sarah Walworth is an author, knitting pattern editor, and industry community leader. She first learned to knit as a child from her mom, but re-learned as an adult when she needed a way to keep her hands busy. It quickly cascaded into re-writing patterns to fit her, learning innovative techniques, and trying all different ways to tension the yarn. She loves to pass on the craft to whomever she can get to hold needles and yarn for a few minutes. You can find her at www.sarahwalworth.com, as @tricotedit on social media, and via email at tricotedit@gmail.com.
