Basic Christmas Stockings

          We are beginning to celebrate the holidays early this year. Come class to create the perfect Christmas stocking for yourself or a loved one. This is a fun way to learn how to make socks without having to make the second one. There is the choice of The Wee, Medium, or The Jolly Big sized stocking. The pattern is cuff down with an afterthought heel. It will be knitted in the round using either double pointed needles or circular needles, depending on your preference. The class will be divided into four 2-hour parts. We will begin with the cuff and leg in the 1st session and talk about jogless stripes. The 2nd class will cover the afterthought heel and how to move onto the foot section. The 3rd part will cover toe decreasing and the Kitchener Stitch. The final class will when we go back to do the heel, talk about embellishments, and discuss finishing skills. No previous sock experience required but knowledge of the knit and purl stitch is required. This is a hybrid class. You can sign up to attend in person or on Zoom. If you cannot attend all classes in person, talk to the instructor and you could get makeup time or attend through Zoom.
