Two-At-A-Time (TAAT) Tow Up Sock Knit-A-Long (KAL)
I have been asked by many when will COCO be hosting an online KAL featuring TAAT sock KAL. Well, here it is! This will be an exciting online KAL!
This KAL will feature Staci Perry’s pattern “2 Socks at-a-Time, Magic Loop”.
Now, do not get intimidated by the ‘Magic Loop’ method! This is easier than you think!
And you can say farewell to the one sock syndrome. You will be completing your socks faster and with even tension better than before.
There is a lot to pack in, so please read all the details below.
This is an online community knit. We will be working our socks over 7 sessions.
There is a 7-part online video tutorial that accompanies the pattern.
The pattern suits Child (5-10 years old), Women, Men (any size, all average widths).
For beginners to TAAT, Staci recommends we start with worsted weight before tacking a sock or fingering weight yarn/wool.
I have chosen an affordable worsted weight; Briggs and Little in Regal. The colour will be your choice.
If you miss one of the online KAL’s, do not worry, the KAL will be recorded and the session will be sent to you so you can catch up easily.
