Colorwork socks have always been intimidating — what if those floats don’t stretch over the heel? And after all that work?? Never fear! The Ladder Back Jacquard method is here!! Learn the magical technique that adds S T R E T C H to your colorwork items :)

In this class, we will cover techniques and methods on how to implement Ladder Back Jacquard stitches to colorwork charts and patterns when we want to make items that may require stretch or to achieve a neat and clean way to manage long floats in larger designs. We’ll be knitting the adorable You Silly Goose Socks from Stone Knits together to see how to add these techniques to a pattern that doesn’t give is explicit instructions on how to do so.
