Hand-knitted socks are one of life's most wonderful luxuries! Learn how to craft a pair of socks that are guaranteed to keep your toes warm all winter long.
Using worsted-weight yarn and size 6 DPN needles, this class will teach you the basics of sock knitting, including casting on, using DPNs, knitting the leg and foot, turning the heel, and finishing the toe.
