Beginner Sock Knitter
This knitting pattern is designed for beginners, making it a perfect choice for those who are just getting started with sock knitting. The pattern is very simple and easy to follow, and it includes a comprehensive video tutorial lasting over 1 hour. To get started, you will need to know how to cast on and work the basic knit and purl stitches. Beyond that, I guide you through every step in the video tutorials, ensuring you have a smooth learning experience.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
YARN - Worsted Weight:
The yardage you will need can vary based on the size of the sock and the length of the foot, but the sample size (size 2) used approximately 150 yards (137 m) of yarn. For this project, I recommend using I Love This Yarn (100% Acrylic - 355 yards {325 m}/ 199g) in the beautiful colorway 'Glacier'.
SIZING OPTIONS
This pattern offers a range of sizes to accommodate both men and women:
- Sizes 1 (2, 3)[4, 5, 6]
-Foot Circumference: 7.5 (8, 8.5)[9, 9.5, 10] inches (19 (20.5, 21.5)[23, 24, 25.5] cm). I recommend selecting a sock size that provides 0.5-1 inch (1.5-2.5 cm) of negative ease for the best fit (see detailed notes on page 2 for an explanation of ease).
-Foot length is completely customizable, allowing you to create the perfect fit for your needs.
