Are you ready to take your knitting skills to the next level? If you can confidently knit and purl, you are ready to cast on your first socks!

Join our Learn to Knit Socks Class — four hands-on sessions where you’ll learn every step, from reading patterns to finishing touches. Before the first class you’ll receive three cuff‑down, heel‑flap pattern recommendations to choose from; you’re welcome to use one of those or any similar pattern (not sure which to pick? Email us and we’ll help!).

This course is perfect whether you want to expand your skills or simply make a cozy pair of socks for yourself!
