About this Class
Ready to finally understand how a sock comes together? In this hands-on workshop, Denise will walk you through the complete construction of a toe-up sock — from that very first stitch at the tip of the toe all the way up toward the cuff.
Instead of racing to complete a full-size pair, you'll work on a DK-weight mini sock — the perfect teaching tool. The larger yarn weight makes the stitches easier to see and count, so you can focus on understanding the why behind each technique rather than just following along stitch by stitch.
By the end of class, you'll have a mini sock and, more importantly, a solid understanding of sock construction you can carry into any toe-up pattern you pick up next.
What You'll Learn
- Judy's Magic Cast On — the cleanest starting point for a toe-up sock
- How to shape the toe so it curves naturally around your foot
- Working a small circumference in the round (the foundation of all sock knitting)
- Heel construction and how it creates the turn of the sock
- How to read sizing and understand sock fit
- How the same construction process scales up to a full-size sock pair
What's Included
- Hands-on instruction from Denise
- Mini sock pattern to take home
- Stitch markers
- Step-by-step technique reference card
What to Bring
- ~50g DK weight yarn — solid or semi-solid (light colors show stitches best)
- US size 4 or 5 needles: DPNs, or a 32" circular
- Scissors and a tapestry needle
- A notebook if you like to take notes
Is This Class for You?
This class is designed for knitters who are comfortable with the basics and ready to take on a new construction challenge. You don't need any prior sock experience — Denise will teach you everything you need to know about socks from the ground up (or toe up, in this case).
What matters is that you can comfortably knit, purl, and work in the round before you arrive. The mini sock format keeps the stitch count small and manageable, so you can focus on technique without getting lost in a mountain of stitches.
No sock experience required — that's exactly what we're here for.
