Description:

In this class you will learn to knit socks from the top down using a Magic Loop 40” circular knitting needle. We will be using the “Afterthought Heel” technique. This is an especially easy method to learn how to make socks, there are
NO Heel Flaps, Turned Heel and NO Gussets!!!!
 
Any fingering weight sock yarn would work in this class; I would like to recommend the UNEEK SOCK YARN. It comes already divided into two balls with the striping identical for each sock.  I was pleasantly surprised to knit a leg over 10 inches long for a Women’s size 7 shoe!!! WOW!
