Socks 101: Top Down Socks with Kate Atherley

About Socks 101: Top Down Socks with Kate Atherley

Learn how to make top-down socks. Starting with a mini “training sock”, we teach you everything you need to know to knit socks - from working in the round to turning the heel to shaping the toe. Once you’ve mastered the mini, we get you started on your first full-size sock. Along the way, we share lots of tips and techniques, including easy ways to join the round – without twisting!, handling the gusset pickup, and a beginner-friendly no-graft toe. If you’ve not made socks before, this is the class for you. I also demonstrate Magic Loop and patterns provided permit use of both DPNs, magic loop or two circulars.
