Flat Knit Socks

Are you ready to elevate your knitting game with a unique sock construction? If you prefer knitting flat or simply want to try something different, these delightful socks are the perfect project for you. Say goodbye to the hassle of side, toe, or heel seams; instead, you’ll only need to make one simple seam along the front of the sock. The innovative heel is expertly crafted using short rows, while the toe features a charming drawstring finish, ensuring a snug fit that’s as stylish as it is cozy.

For your stunning handcrafted socks, gather your materials: You'll need 60g (70g, 90g) of 4ply sock yarn. The beautiful socks showcased in the pictures are knitted with Gamer Crafting Sock 4-ply [75% Merino, 25% Nylon, 400m per 100g] in the vibrantly eye-catching colorway ‘Pride Was A Riot’. To achieve the perfect gauge, you'll need 2mm and 2.5mm needles (or the size necessary for your project), 4 stitch markers for keeping track of your stitches, and a darning needle for finishing touches.

It’s essential to maintain the right gauge for a successful project: aim for 32 stitches and 38 rows per 10cm/4 inches in stocking stitch using your larger needles. This precise gauge will ensure your socks fit beautifully and feel comfortable on your feet.

When it comes to sizing, these socks cater to various foot and leg sizes: Size 1 boasts a circumference of 17.5cm/7 inches, Size 2 measures 20cm/8 inches, and Size 3 offers a circumference of 22.5cm/9 inches. The sample sock you see is knitted in Size 2, with a leg length from cuff to heel of 24cm/9.5 inches, and a foot length from the back of the heel to toe measuring 24cm/9.5 inches. Perfect for a cozy fit, these socks make an excellent gift for friends or a treat for yourself.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this sock pattern will guide you through every step of the way. Get ready to enjoy the satisfaction of creating a beautiful pair of socks with this simple yet effective design!
