DK basic socks

These stylish adult socks are expertly crafted in the round from the cuff down, making them a wonderful project for knitters of all skill levels. Featuring the innovative German band heel, these socks are shaped using a combination of increases and decreases, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. The toe of the socks is skillfully finished using the grafted toe method, creating a seamless look that enhances durability and aesthetics.

To create these cozy socks, you will need the following materials: 100g (150g, 200g) of DK yarn, such as Stylecraft Batik [80% acrylic, 20% wool, with a yardage of 130m per 50g]. For my project, I chose the beautiful color Indigo. You will also require a 3mm needle or your preferred size to achieve the correct gauge. An 80cm-long circular needle for magic loop knitting, double-pointed needles (DPNs), or two sets of circular needles can be used—you'll just need to choose what is most comfortable for you. Additionally, gather 4 stitch markers and a darning needle for finishing touches.

These adult socks are not only practical but also make for a perfect gift or personal treat. Dive into the world of sock knitting and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something both functional and fashionable!
