Toe-up Socks for the Stubborn

This class is geared for the current sock knitter who falls somewhere between mildly curious and moderately resistant to the notion of going toe-up. Using the methods described during this workshop, the participant will leave with the tools necessary to knit a toe-up sock with the gussets and heel flap seen with traditional top-down construction. Fill-in-the-blank worksheets will help the student easily crunch their personal numbers to customize the fit of their socks.

This class is taught by: Deb Barnhill.
