Lisa Ross – Workshop 3: Step Into Sock Knitting

Step Into Sock Knitting

Have you been wanting to “step” into sock knitting? It’s not as hard as it seems!

This class will walk you through the basics of a top-down heel flap and gusset sock to get a comfortable fit for your feet. We will explore needle options that best suit your knitting style, then cast-on tiny versions to learn the general construction of a top-down sock.

I’ll share my all-time favorite cast-on that looks great and fits even better. Most importantly, we will establish the crucial knowledge of achieving a perfect fit every time, with tips and tricks to help along the way. By the end of this
class, you’ll be able to tackle any top-down sock pattern in your queue with exceptional results.
