This is an online workshop to show & teach how to knit a toe-up sock.

Any yarn and any needle size may be used to make the socks to fit your intended recipient.

This is a recipe type pattern. The recommended yarn & needle size were what was used for the sample socks.

From the Socknitters website:

Materials needed:

  • Yarn of your choice.
  • A set of double-pointed needles that will produce a nice firm gauge with your chosen yarn. For socks, this should be smaller than recommended on most ball bands. For example, Classic Wool shows its gauge as 20 st = 10 cm (5 st/inch) on 4.5 (US &) needles. Denise used 3.5 needles and worked at 24 st = 10 cm (6 st/inch)
  • For the Square Toe cast on only, you will also need ONE double pointed needle of a smaller size (I used 2.5 mm).
  • A tapestry or yarn needle, for the cast off
