What could be better than socks knitted 2-at-a-Time? Why 2-at-a-Time socks knitted from the toes to the top, of course! Now there’s no “second sock syndrome", and you can build your socks from the toes up – no yarn shortage surprises, you can make a cuff shorter if need be! Under the tuition of the creator of this novel knitting method, students will create their own miniature sample socks using the technique outlines in the book Toe Up 2-at-a-Time Socks.

Students should bring :

-A copy of Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks
-One 40" long US 6 circular needle
-50 yards each of two different colors of a worsted weight yarn - Valley Yarns Superwash is recommended
-Three stitch markers; at least one of these should be a split ring or locking marker that attaches to the work.
