We will be learn to knit socks using two patterns which use different construction and heel techniques. You will have the choice to work using double pointed needles or learning the magic loop technique using circular needles This course is designed for next stage knitters - basic knowledge of knit, purl, increasing & decreasing is needed. Rye (TinCanKnits) - Tin Can Knits patterns are really clear and available in a range of baby, kids & adult sizes. Rye is a simple cuff down socks which features a basic heel flap and a decorative garter stitch pattern. This pattern uses DK or Aran yarn so it knits up fast & you can choose knit your socks in one colour or use a different colour for the heels, cuffs & toes Jager (Tanis Fibre Arts) - This is a brand new adult sock pattern from a colourful knitwear designer. The socks are knitted toe up so you can choose your length as well as choosing different amounts of colour work. The heel is a short row heel & we will be using 4ply yarn. Each week we will learn & work on different element of the sock: Week 1: Cast on Rye Sock, work cuff & leg Week 2 & 3: Work on Rye leg & heel Week 4: Work on Rye foot & toe Week 5: Cast on Jager Sock, work toe & foot Week 6 & 7: Work on Jager foot & heel Week 8: Work on Jager leg & cuff We will complete one sock from of each pattern & students may need to work on their socks in-between sessions to reach different parts of the pattern.
