    Curious about knitting socks but not sure where to start? Join Marcy for this three-session basic sock class. This class will guide you through the basics of sock knitting.  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. For this class you will need a light colored fingering weight sock yarn. 

    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 with fingering-weight yarn on small needles.

    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.  

    Included:
    Pattern, handout 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. Mother of Purl has a wide selection of sock yarns. 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 pairs of shorty socks.

    Cancellation Policy for Classes:
    Classes may be cancelled for a full refund if we are notified by PHONE (207-869-5280) at least 48 hours in advance of the start of the class.  If you cancel after the 48 hours, then you will only get a refund if we are able to fill your spot.
