Loop socks
Welcome to our versatile sock knitting pattern featuring a top-down design with an afterthought heel! This unique method allows you to effortlessly knit a seamless tube and add the heel later, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Using two contrasting colors not only adds a fun twist to your project but also enables you to utilize any leftover yarn from previous projects. For enhanced elasticity and comfort, we recommend using a larger needle size than usual, or alternatively, knitting the sock inside out. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure the perfect fit!
I personally prefer the magic loop method for knitting these socks, but feel free to use your favorite technique for knitting in the round, whether it’s using double-pointed needles or circular needles. This pattern is not only a fantastic way to explore color combinations, but it also serves as an ideal project for stash-busting your leftover yarn. Dive into this engaging sock pattern today and create a cozy pair that you'll love to wear or gift!
