Favorite Toe-Up Bind-Offs
One of the trickiest parts of knitting toe-up socks is finding the perfect bind-off. Students will learn three different stretchy bind-offs in this class so their toe-up socks will never cut off their circulation again!
This class is taught by: Chrissy Gardiner.
| Class Level: | Advanced Beginner - these are simple techniques that should be easy for anyone who has mastered basic sock techniques. |

Yarn: Smooth, light-colored yarn such that student can easily see stitches.
