Ready to knit your first pair of full size socks? In this step-by-step course, you’ll learn how to knit top-down socks that fit beautifully – and gain the confidence to keep going on your own.

  • Learn different toe styles and grafting methods
  • Finish your sock and review second-sock tips
You’ll knit at home between sessions, with support and troubleshooting each week. Whether you leave with one sock or a full pair, you’ll be ready to knit many more.
