Classes
Kids’ Socks
Do you know children who are envious of your handknit socks? Most sock patterns are published for adult sizes. In this class, we’ll celebrate little feet. You’ll find out about children’s sock sizes and fitting issues. You’ll learn to adapt a pattern planned for adults to children’s sizes. You’ll see how to design your own kid’s socks from the ground up (or the cuff down). We’ll explore the details and flourishes that will have the little ones lining up to be the next recipient of socks knit by you!

Optional - If there is a particular child you want to make socks for, and you have access to their feet, make an outline of their foot by having them stand on a piece of paper and tracing around the foot. On this outline, note the circumference measurement around the ball of the foot. | |
