Tennissocken

This knitting pattern is designed for creating socks using double-pointed needles (DPNs). Suitable for all shoe sizes ranging from 20/21 to 50/51, this versatile pattern caters to a wide audience of knitters. The measurements are provided in metric units, with lengths specified in centimeters, and yarn amounts listed in grams for easy reference.

Sizes Available: This pattern accommodates every shoe size from 20/21 to 50/51, making it perfect for kids and adults alike.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 34 stitches and 42 rounds equaling 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette stitch. This is accomplished using US size 1 ½ (2.5 mm) needles and sock yarn in a lightweight 4-ply category.

Yarn Requirements: To create your unique socks, you will need 4-ply sock yarn in two contrasting colors. The total yarn amounts required will vary based on shoe size, leg length, and the number of stripes you choose. As a guideline, the main color (MC) will require approximately 30g for baby sizes up to 100g for larger feet, while the contrasting color (CC) will need around 10-30g. For reference, my completed socks used the following amounts: size 20 required 20g total, size 30 used 40g, and size 40 needed 60g.

Needles and Tools: To get started with this pattern, you will need double-pointed needles (DPNs) in US sizes 1 (2.25 mm) or 1 ½ (2.5 mm). You can also use long circular needles in the same sizes if preferred. Additional tools include a tapestry needle, scissors, and optionally, two stitch markers to help manage your stitches.

Whether you’re creating cozy socks for yourself or as thoughtful gifts, this pattern is easily adaptable for all your creative ideas.
