Learn to Knit Socks in 3 Sessions

Socks have a reputation for being tricky. They're not! They just need someone to walk you through the scary bits!

In this small-group workshop (6 people max), you'll knit your first sock from start to finish, with me beside you at every step. We take it slowly over three sessions, so you have time to practise between classes, and nobody gets left behind at the heel.

Dates and location

Session 1: Sizing, techniques, and cast-on. How to measure and choose the right size, how knitting in the round works, and how to cast on and start your sock. You'll go home with the leg underway and homework (the fun kind).

Session 2: The heel. The part everyone worries about, so it gets its own session. We'll work through the heel flap, turn the heel, and pick up the gusset together, with plenty of hands-on help.

Session 3: Casting off. Shaping the toe, finishing your sock beautifully, and tips for blocking and caring for your handmade socks.

Already have your own yarn? Choose the "I have my own yarn and needles" option. You'll need 100g of 4-ply / fingering weight sock yarn and 80 cm (32") circular needles or DPNs in size 2.25 or 2.5 mm. No fuzzy or heavily textured yarns. Not sure if your yarn will work? Message me a photo before booking, and I'll help you.

Who it's for: Beginner knitters who are new to socks. You should be comfortable with the long-tail cast-on and the knit and purl stitches. No sock experience needed.

Please note: This is a 3-session course. Please book only if you can attend all three. Between sessions, you'll have a little homework so that we can move on to the next stage together.
