Saturday 12th September | 10.30am–4.30pm
Learn Toe-Up Socks
Learn to knit beautiful socks from the toe up! In this workshop, as well as showing the advantages of using the toe-up method, Samira Hill will teach you all the techniques required to knit a beautiful pair of socks, including how to cast on for a beautiful seamless toe, how to shape the toe using symmetrical shaping, how to work a heel flap, the heel stitch, turn the heel, shape the gusset, and how to work a stretchy cast off at the cuff, all whilst working on a mini-sock, using either double pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. All the skills required to knit the full-size socks pattern provided will be covered in the workshop. This workshop is suitable for knitters who already know how to cast on, knit, purl and cast off.
