Festive Sock knitting – it’s a tradition!
Master the basics of sock knitting in class and take home a full size pattern and 100gm WYS Christmas special. Be daring and choose the new 2025 design – still under wraps – or any of our four favourites from previous years: Silent Night, Holly Berry, Nutcracker or Candy Cane. Take your pick at the booking stage.
Master with a mini sock
Tutor Judith Schur will guide you through the process of knitting a mini sock. You will be knitting in the round using double-pointed needles, learning the principles of how a sock is constructed and discussing other methods that you can try. We will work the cuff and leg of the sock before moving on to creating a heel before knitting the foot and finishing off by grafting together the toes.
Once you’ve made your mini sock, you should be ready to start making full size socks for you, your friends and family. If you’re not quite ready, practice using the take-home mini pattern to build your confidence, using your minis to create a delightful Christmas bunting.
Skill Level
You need to be able to cast on, knit and purl. This is not for complete beginners.
Materials
You will need to bring along a set of 2.25 or 2.5 mm dpn’s to this workshop. In addition to the 100g special edition West Yorkshire Spinners yarn and pattern, we will provide all the yarn you need in class.
