Knitting socks is also practical; socks keep your feet warm. A well fitted hand-knit sock is sublime. Once you experience the perfectly fitted sock: slides over your foot, fitting like a second skin, but soft and warm, you will never wear commercially sized socks again. How do you obtain the perfectly fitted sock? Simple, know what to measure, where to measure and how to turn those measurements into the number of stitches to cast on. Practice: All students will learn to accurately measure and record the measurements of their own foot. Students will learn the formula to apply foot measurements and swatch gauge to determine the number of stitches to cast on and how to turn that number into the recipe for a perfectly fitting sock. Using worsted weight yarn, we will review techniques (heel flap, heel turn, etc) on a mini sock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Ih4Dzb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q4tvle JqSWld yqQS1\" aria-label=\"Class Description (be specific - this will be published on social media and printed materials)\" aria-disabled=\"true\" role=\"textbox\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA sheet of copier paper (8x11) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePencil \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTape measure \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRuler \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePaper and pencil, if you like to take notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Homework! (your knitted swatch) Homework 2 (worsted yarn, in k2, p2 ribbing for 10 rounds, appropriate needles) Homework: Knit a swatch in stockinette. I recommend using a sock yarn (fingering weight) and a needle size between 1.75mm and 2.5mm. The swatch should have a horizontal measurement of 5 inches and a vertical measurement of 5 inches. Wash the swatch following the care instructions on the yarn label. It is important that the swatch is washed in the same manner as you will wash the finished socks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHomework 2: Using worsted weight yarn and appropriate needles, cast on 32 stitches, being careful not to twist, join to knit in the round.
