Having trouble making socks that fit? Learn to knit a charming pair of socks from the toes up! The Utsubo (“Moray Eel”) Sock, designed by Chiharu Nagase, is a great project for dipping your toes (sorry) into the world of sock making. In this hands-on class you’ll gain experience in small-circumference knitting and learn multiple techniques, including the toe-up cast-on and heel turn, German short rows, and the i-cord bind-off. These socks use very little yarn and result in a comfortable, ankle-height set that you or a loved one is sure to enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrerequisites\u003c\/strong\u003e: Participants should have basic knitting skills, including increases and decreases, and knitting in the round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomework\u003c\/strong\u003e: None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMin\/max number of participants\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\/8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials to bring along\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA copy (printed or digital) of the “Utsubo Sock” pattern by Chiharu Nagase (free download \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/utsubo-sock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt least 50 grams of fingering weight \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/sock-yarn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esock yarn\u003c\/a\u003e, purchased from Spun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize US1.5 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/all-knitting-needles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eneedles\u003c\/a\u003e (or size needed to meet gauge) in your choice of dpns, circular needles 32” or longer (for magic loop), or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/products\/flexiflips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFlexi Flips\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cem\u003eNote: 9” circular needles will not work for the cast-on, although you may switch to them after you’ve finished the toe.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/stitch-markers-holders-stoppers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003estitch markers\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuler or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/tape-measures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etape measure\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/scissors-snips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eScissors or snips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/products\/chibimini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDarning needle\u003c\/a\u003e for finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53814726885589,"sku":"8850786","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/8133\/9605\/products\/Toe-UpSocks.jpg?v=1770226798","url":"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/products\/toe-up-sock-workshop-july-2026","provider":"Spun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
