Knit Skills: Colorwork Socks- CANCELLED

  • Freeman's Creative LLC 2020 Chapel Hill Road #25 Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Make the sweetest socks, the Gelato Socks from Stone Knits! We'll learn top down sock construction, ladder back jacquard for long floats, and a ribbed heel flap. Students should confidently knit and purl in the round and have experience with small needles and reading patterns. Students with less experience can skip the colorwork.

Instructor:

Amie Palmer

Materials:

20g each of CC1, 2, 3, + 4 (cone, scoop, background, and heel + toe)
