Classes
Writing Up An Awesome Sock Pattern
You’ve designed a great sock, and now it’s time to write up the pattern to share with other knitters. This class will show you how to write up a sock pattern that any knitter can follow. We will discuss sizing and fit, addressing when and how to provide multiple sizes. Kate will share secrets for handling pattern stitches, both written and charted, and provide tips for creating easy-to-read charts. She will also discuss needle choice and configuration (4 or 5 DPNs, 2 circulars and magic loop), covering when it’s best to be specific, and how to convert from one needle setup to another. Kate will share with you the three key tricks to make sure both knitters and technical editors love you!
