'Introduction & Casting On' Part 1 'The Beachcomber Socks' (Patreon)

Welcome to our ’Beachcomber Socks Tutorial Series'!

The 'Summer of Stitching' 2023 has officially begun and we are SO excited. Over the next three months we have so many wonderful activities in store. We start with a brand new six part sock knitting series, perfect for all levels of knitter. Anytime we mention a technique you might not be expert at, we will list a further tutorial below to aid absolute beginners.

So let's get started! We are so delighted to bring you a brand new sock pattern to accompany the series, which is attached to the bottom of this post. We have also done our absolute best to give the 'Summer of Stitching' some of our famous 'Advent Calendar' sparkle! We hope you love this series and the whole 'Summer of Stitching' event. You might notice we have also placed chapter markers on the YouTube Video so you can quickly skip to each section of the tutorial.
