Cedar Cabin Slipper Sock Class

Learn to knit a cozy pair of Cedar Cabin Slipper Socks, worked from the cuff down on double pointed needles. This class will guide you through the construction of a slipper sock, including working in the round, shaping a heel flap and Dutch heel, picking up gusset stitches, working decreases, and finishing the toe with Kitchener stitch.

The pattern is designed by Gabriel Rose and features a simple ribbed cuff, an optional color change design, and a comfortable slipper sock construction. Students will work through the pattern step by step and learn the techniques needed to complete their own pair.
