Socks are a very useful knitted item. Hand-knit socks are quite a luxury. Heavier weight socks are great for wearing boots or just lounging around the house. Lighter weight socks are great for everyday wear. This class will teach you how to make a top-down sock which includes a lot of skills you can transfer to other projects!
