{"product_id":"knitting-basic-socks","title":"Knitting Basic Socks","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of my most requested classes is finally here! Knitting socks is not for the faint of heart, but they contain multitudes of useful skills and are a wonderful thing to knit and wear. This class keeps things at its simplest with a very well written pattern and thicker-than-standard yarn so you don't have a million tiny stitches on the needle while learning new skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis class will prepare you to knit a sock from the top down using the pattern \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/rye-dk\" title=\"Rye by Tincanknits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"Rye\" by Tincanknits\u003c\/a\u003e. We will be learning to read a basic pattern, knit in the round using your choice of double pointed needles or magic loop method, knit a heel flap, turn a heel using easy short rows, decreases for the instep and toe, and lastly how to graft a toe shut without creating a seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This is not a beginner class! Socks are a challenge for beginners. Please come equipped with knowledge of knit and purl. Knitting in the round and pattern reading is an asset but not required if you are brave!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials must be purchased\/brought from home in advance of class time!
