Description: Flat socks?! Yes, we will learn how to knit socks that are knit flat. This knit flat sock is perfect for first-time sock knitters and is a game changer for experienced sock knitters. Working back and forth on two straight needles, you will learn how to create a join-friendly selvedge, work shadow wrap short rows, join-as-you-go seams, and a bifurcated heel for a better fit.
Holli Yeoh is an amazing instructor and we are so excited to have her teach for us. Maybe you've shied away from knitting socks because of knitting in the round in a small diameter. These socks take that issue away. Did you ever think you could knit socks flat that are this flattering and well fitting?
