You just can't beat the comfort and coziness of handmade socks. Whether you are a beginner or experienced crocheter, this class makes it easy to learn how to crochet socks! Join expert Rohn Strong as he clearly explains the different parts of a sock and how to crochet each one. Rohn reviews all the basic crochet stitches used to stitch the five sock patterns included, and then demonstrates the construction of two styles of socks -- cuff-down and toe-up.
