Custom-Fit Socks

Tuesday, April 28, 2026, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
Kate Atherley

Librate 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.  Instructor Kate Atherley will provide templates you can use over and over to design a sock from scratch. She'll also talk about how to adjust existing patterns, and how to incorporate design elements like pattern stitches and colorwork.
