Take your pick at the booking stage. Master with a mini sock Tutor Judith Schur will guide you through the process of knitting a mini sock. You will be knitting in the round using double-pointed needles, learning the principles of how a sock is constructed and discussing other methods that you can try. We will work the cuff and leg of the sock before moving on to creating a heel before knitting the foot and finishing off by grafting together the toes. Once you’ve made your mini sock, you should be ready to start making full size socks for you, your friends and family. If you’re not quite ready, practice using the take-home mini pattern to build your confidence, using your minis to create a delightful Christmas bunting.
