The Gretel Sock – A Socktober Holiday Adventure

We start with the instructions for a basic sock pattern, add stranded colorwork and you make the Gretel Sock! In the class, the student will learn how to strand the colorwork so that is stretches and allows for the elasticity of the sock. A basic knowledge of sock construction is required for this class.
