Sock Knitting Classes

🧦 Sock Knitting Classes at Patchwork Dreamer

From First Stitch to Fabulous Socks  Learn the Joy of Knitting in the Round

Whether you’re completely new to sock knitting or just need a confidence boost to tackle heels and toes, our Sock Knitting Classes are the perfect way to get started.

This structured, step-by-step course will guide you through the entire sock-making process – from choosing the right yarn to casting off your very own handmade sock!

🧶 What You’ll Learn:

Session One  Half Day: Foundations & Getting Started

We’ll begin with a relaxed discussion to demystify:

  • The anatomy of a sock

  • How to measure the foot correctly

  • Knitting in the round using circular needles and DPNs (double pointed needles)

  • The best yarns and fibres for comfortable, durable socks

Then it’s time to cast on!

  • Start the ribbed cuff

  • Begin knitting the leg of the sock

  • Homework: Continue knitting the leg at home, ready to tackle the heel in the next class

Session Two – Full Day: Mastering the Heel & Foot

This full day session dives into the trickier but oh-so-satisfying bits:

  • Knit the heel flap using two needles

  • Work the clever heel turn (it’s like sock magic!)

  • Learn how to pick up stitches for the gusset

  • Reduce stitches gradually to shape the foot

Homework: Continue knitting the foot at home, stopping about 2 inches before the toe.

Session Three – Half Day: Toes, Techniques & Next Steps

  • Learn toe decreases

  • Use the Kitchener stitch to create an invisible seam at the toe

  • Finish your sock – and guess what? Only two ends to sew in!

We’ll wrap up with a discussion on:

  • How to make matching socks

  • Simple ways to add lace, cables, and textures to your next pair

  • Resources and tutorials for continuing your sock knitting journey at home

Homework: Get that second sock on your needles and start matching them up like a pro!
