We all know knitting is secretly just witchcraft with two wands, but if you want to learn some SERIOUSLY amazing magic, get ready for Two-At-A-Time Socks. That's right – you can make a complete pair of socks at the same time using this magic loop method, avoiding common pitfalls like different leg lengths and second sock syndrome (not that we've ever done any of those things... ahem).

Over six weeks, we'll learn a basic cuff down sock pattern made two-at-a-time using the magic loop method, and before you know it, you'll have stocked your sock drawer with cozy hand-knit socks to wear year round.
