It’s Hip to be Square - Bosnian Toes

Looking for a unique way to start your toe-up socks?  Tired of fiddling with a small number of stitches when knitting toe-up?  Lost your needles when throwing a sock tantrum because the cast-on and increases didn’t go as planned?  This one hour wonder will cover the wonders of the Bosnian toe, involving only two needles and relaxing garter stitch.  Students will be able to create socks from simple garter stitch squares and learn how to customize squares with their personal touches to create socks that are hip and square.

This class is a one hour wonder that repeats three times in each three hour block it is offered in.
Friday AM: 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00.

Class Materials:

Yarn: Preferably the same yarn as used in the homework, but any fingering weight yarn will do. Light coloured, semi-solid or solid yarns will show better stitch definition and make for an easier start.  Needles: 5 DPNs, 32” Circulars for Magic Loop, or 2 Circs, sizes 2.00 – 2.75mm.  Please choose needles that work best for you.  If you use DPNs, please bring a set of 5.  Notions: Pen/Pencil, a notebook if you wish to take notes, darning needles, scissors or yarn cutter.

Homework:

Optional, but definitely perferred and advantageous.  Garter Stitch Square.  With fingering weight yarn, cast on 10 stitches using your favorite provisional cast on.  Knit in garter stitch for 20 rows (10 ridges).  Do not bind off.� Place all live stitches on waste yarn. (There should be 10 on the bottom and 10 on the top).
