Instructor: Anne Derby

Wednesdays: April 3, 17, and May 8; 5:45-7:45 pm.

Learn to knit socks with a simple free pattern, “Rye Light,” by Tin Can Knits. “Rye Light” is knit from the cuff down on double pointed needles and features a simple rib, garter stitch and stockinette leg, and heel flap. In the first class, Anne will guide students through pattern reading, sock construction, and casting on; homework will be to knit through completion of the heel flap. The second class will cover the heel and gusset; completing the foot will be the homework. The final class will cover the decreases and kitchener stitch that close the toe.

Experience: Students should be comfortable knitting and purling; knitting in the round is helpful.  Students should plan to complete homework (knitting) between classes.
