Knitting Level 3: Toe-Up Socks on Magic Loop

In this class, you will be making a pair of socks one at a time from the toe up on a circular needle. If you would prefer to knit socks from the top down on double-pointed needles, please see our other sock class.

The pattern is provided for this class, but students are required to purchase their own yarn, needles, and notions. Students get a 15% discount on materials purchased for their class.
