If you’re intimidated by knitting socks, but like the knitted look – and FAST – check out this class! Learn how to make simple socks using Tunisian crochet. This class is intended for people who have learned the basics of Tunisian crochet.
The socks are made flat, then sewn together up the sides. Tunisian stitches include the elastic stitch for the ankle, plus the knit stitch and a new extended stitch that prevents curling.
NOTE FOR STUDENTS OF PREVIOUS CLASSES: To get a head start, you can do the elastic top before class! Make it as long as half your heel circumference, and at least 4 stitches wide, using the elastic stitch.
Class will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026 from 1 – 3 pm and repeated on Tuesday, June 16 from 4 – 6 pm.
