Have you knit basic socks before but would like to try a new construction method? In this class we will learn to knit toe up socks, with a seamless cast on and a fleegle heel. The fleegle heel fits many feet much better than a standard heel flap and gusset. Knitting your socks toe up gives you the opportunity to try on and customize the fit as you go, and if you split your skein into two equal balls, you can just keep knitting until you run out of yarn, with no worries of running out before you finish the toe.

Prerequisite: have knit at least one pair of basic socks

Materials to bring to class:

• 100g fingering weight sock yarn
• US size 1 (32" needle for magic loop).
