Sock knitting features various techniques for the toe and heel, and the shape changes based on how you combine them.
The main body has no increases or decreases, making it easy to put your favorite patterns.
Making the color combinations is also simple.
Once you understand the structure and expand your knitting technique variations, you can combine them to knit socks to your own taste!
We'll develop the “NONA Socks Lab” over three sessions (planned), gradually stepping up the knitting technique combinations.
First step socks are IROHA socks incredibly simple and easy.
While they might feel a bit too basic for experienced sock knitters, they're perfect for beginners or those who feel intimidated by sock knitting.
