Have you wanted to learn to knit socks?  Do you suffer from second sock syndrome or do your socks turn out 2 different sizes?  Two-at-a-time, top-down socks are a great way to learn sock knitting and are a fix for common sock issues.  This is also a great project to learn the magic loop method for knitting in the round.

During the class, you will knit either a pair of baby socks or Christmas stocking ornaments, your choice, so that you can work through all of the steps of knitting socks within 2 class sessions.

Supplies needed:

·  1 center-pull or 2 smaller balls of fingering

weightyarn- 70 yards total.  The average skein of sock yarn

will give you plenty of yarn to make the class project and

a pair of medium women socks.

·  36" (24-48" will also work) circular needles.  US size

#1 (or #0 if you are a loose knitter and #1.5 if a tight

knitter).  You can also use 2 24" or

longer circular needles if you prefer not to use magic

loop.  Gauge is not particularly important for the class

project. Tapestry needle

(Two session class)
