In-Store Class

Instructor: Jill Monier
Dates: Thursdays, October 24, 31 & November 7, 2024
Time: 9 AM to 11 AM
Location: Knot Another Hat

Join Jill to knit Anklers socks! One of Sarah's recent design, Anklers are great for less-experienced or first-time sock knitters. Never knit socks in fingering-weight yarn or think that socks take forever? Anklers are great because you move into the heel after just a few rounds at the ankle, so you jump into the tricky parts right off the bat. This three-session class will teach you all the steps to knit a top-down ankle sock, including Kitchener stitch to graft together the toe at the end. You will be able to easily apply skills learned to knit full length socks.

Skill Level: This class is suitable for advanced beginner knitters on up. You should know how to cast on, knit, purl, perform basic increases and decreases, and bind off.
