Materials are included in the workshop cost. You'll be supplied with a ball of DK weight sock yarn and double point needles, and a printed pattern.
Session One: 2 - 3pm(1 Hour): Learn to cast on and knit in the round using double pointed needles.
Session Two: 2 - 5pm(3 hours): We will walk you through all the technical elements of the heel section - knitting a heel flap, turning a heel, and picking up stitches along the gusset.
Session Three: 2 - 4pm(2 hours): Learn to decrease the toe of your sock and graft remaining stitches on your needle using the kitchener stitch method.
