Custom Fit Socks

Kate Atherley

Thursday AM

Liberate yourself from pattern books! Make a sock to meet your own unique needs, for any size foot, and in any yarn. Learn how to measure your feet properly to understand your fit needs and create a perfectly fitting top-down or toe-up sock pattern. I’ll provide templates you can use over and over to design a sock from scratch, and we’ll also talk about how to adjust existing patterns and incorporate design elements like pattern stitches and colorwork.

Skill Level: Intermediate: must have knit a few pairs of socks.
