Beyond The Basic Sock ~ Ice Cream on a Rainy Day

In this series of "Going Beyond Making A Basic Sock" classes, we have been exploring new techniques and perfecting the old. 

This round we will be making the sock pattern "Ice Cream on a Rainy Day" by Knit Share Love, which is toe up.  Use your circular knitting technique of choice, superwash sock yarn and either size 1 or 1.5 needles to get a gauge of 8 stitches per inch.  If you would like to try the toes, heels and/or ribbing in another color, this is a good pattern to try this effect.  This pattern shows up best in a solid, semi-solid, or a lightly variegated yarn.  Avoid dark colors, unless for the toes/cuffs/heel.

In this class we will cover:

• Judy's Magic Loop or Turkish Cast On
• Paired Increases - Either Make 1's or YO's
• Planned afterthought heel
• Adjusting for not having a gusset
• Tubular Bind Off
• Optional-Working 2 at a time

Three part Sock Class:  Saturdays:  11- 1pm, October 19, November 2, November 9

Please come to class with your yarn wound and ready to use and the pattern for Ice Cream on a Rainy Day printed.  This pattern is available at our shop or through Ravelry here: Rainy Day by Knit Share Love
