Making socks and a hat


Details of session


The course will be for 6 consecutive Wednesdays from 18:20 to 19:30, you may need to continue knitting at home in between sessions. We will open a dedicated WhatsApp group for the course so that questions can be asked, pictures of work shared, general chat and support for each other.


We will be making a pair of socks and a hat which will have a snowflake design, if we need the extra time we can add a further week.


The course is for people that can do knit and purl, rib stitching as an absolute minimum, please do not book if you can’t do these things. You will be taught cable work and Fair Isle knitting and how to follow the pattern, turning heels on the socks.
