    In this Basic Sock class you will learn to knit all aspects of a sock including cuff, leg, heal, foot and toe.  We'll be making a shorty sock in fingering-weight yarn on small needles.  Our goal is for you to complete one sock during the class (with homework!) so that you can confidently make the second sock on your own. 

    Dates/Time:
    Saturday mornings, January 11, 18 & 25 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm *Feburary 1 Snow Date

    Duration:
    3 classes, each class is 2 hours

    Skills Learned:
    An introduction to the realm of hand-knitted socks. In this class you will knit a shorty adult sock in fingering-weight yarn and have the skills and sufficient yarn to knit the second sock on your own. The pattern is for simple shorty socks with short leg ribbing, heel flaps, gussets and wedge toes; you will learn to close the toe with Kitchener stitch.  The pattern shows striped socks, but for the class we will be knitting in solid colors.

    Prerequisites:
    Must be competent to independently knit, purl, cast-on and bind-off, and must have experience knitting in the round on double-pointed needles and experience knitting with fingering-weight yarn on small needles.  You may gain some of this experience on your own prior to class, but it's important to have the experience so as not to slow down the progress of the class.  Ask for assistance at Mother of Purl on how to acheive this experience.

    Included:

    Pattern, project bag and 6 hours of instruction

    Additional Info:
    Bring your own US size 1, 6" double-pointed needles (not included but available for purchase, metal DPNs, wood DPNs), 1 skein of fingering weight sock yarn. Suggested yarns are: Sandness Garn Sisu, Berroco Ultra Fine Wool, Schoppel Wunderkleckse, Zauberball Crazy. For this class students will select their own yarn, using their 20% class discount.  The shorty sock will only require 50gr of yarn.  If you purchase 100gr you will have enough for two paris of shorty socks.
