Knit 2 Socks in 1 is a two-at-a-time sock method in which you knit one long sock that you could then cut in half to create two socks. What makes this method foolproof is that lifelines (lengths of scrap yarn used to hold stitches in place) are inserted as you knit, allowing you to cut into your knitting with confidence. The socks are finished off with a peasant heel, which is an afterthought heel that uses lifelines to simplify the process. The peasant heel also doubles as the toe! The combination of these techniques creates an approachable way to knit two socks at a time!


Important Workshop Details:
To knit along in class, students need:
-
100 grams of fingering-weight or 150 grams of DK weight yarn.
-
Knitting needles for working small circumferences in the round. If using fingering weight yarn, refer to the ball band for the needle size. If using DK weight yarn, choose a needle size 1-2 US sizes smaller than the ball band suggests. For example, if the ball band suggests US 5, then swatch with a US 4 or 3 needle first.
-
Approximately 5 yds of scrap yarn in the same weight as your working yarn
-
Tapestry Needle
-
Scissors or Snips
-
Measuring Tape
-
Two removable stitch markers
If you wish to knit with us in class, I highly recommend knitting a small swatch in your desired needle & yarn (see supplies list). Please swatch in the round and launder your swatch according to the yarn ball band instructions. After swatching, record the number of stitches in 2".
