Knitting Workshop: Beginner Socks

Learning to knit socks may sound intimidating, but they're actually a great way to challenge yourself and learn lots of helpful techniques within a smaller project!

This 2-part all-inclusive workshop is perfect for beginner knitters who know how to do the basic knit and purl stitches, but want to learn how to knit in-the-round, and how to do shaping techniques.

At the end of the workshop, you'll have a beautiful pair of socks for yourself, plus all the knowledge and skill to knit socks confidently in the future!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING HELD AT FAUNA SUGARING IN HALIFAX

This workshop is made up of two 2-hour sessions, taking place over the course of two weeks.

On the first day, we'll be focusing on a cast-on that will hopefully be new to most, achieving even tension with 1x1 ribbing, and getting comfortable with knitting in-the-round on double-pointed needles.

Everyone will take their projects home to finish the leg of their sock. And on the second day, we'll work on the heel construction and picking up the gusset stitches - plus you'll get a demo on how to finish the toe of your sock at home.

You'll also be given a workshop booklet with a beginner-friendly pattern written inside, to guide you through the process.

All materials and tools are included in the workshop price, but if you already have the required 3.75mm double-pointed needles, you can opt out of the needles below.

You can also choose your desired colour below. If you change your mind about your colour, please let us know in advance so we can bring the right colour to the workshop.
