#KK-Knit-Socks-001
I’m so happy to be sharing this beautiful yet very easy socks pattern with you. Well, its one of the easiest ever socks I’ve ever kniited that actually comes out elegantly. I’ve put up a YouTube video for this pattern for free, but I still get the request to put out a written pattern. So here’s a free written pattern and you’ll understand completely if you have watched the YouTube video. Also I’ve put up the INSTANT DOWNLOAD printable pattern on Etsy and Ravelry, a full picture tutorial with different size adjustments tips to alter per one’s needs.
All the links to my shop and video will be provided at the end of the post if you need to access them.
Materials:
1) 4 mm knitting needles
2) Worsted weight yarn (color and brand of your choice)
3) Tapestry needle to sew
4) Scissors
5) Measuring tab or inches scale
Abbreviations:
1) K = Knit
2) St = stitch
3) K2tog= knit 2 together
4) Slp = slip
Note: If you want to achieve the nice ribbing on the socks, do this. At the beginning of every row, do not knit the first st but slp it onto the new working needle as if to purl; then bring the yarn forward to (so that it doesn’t create additional stitch), and knit the rest of the stitch. This is the same for every row till your project binds off.
Pattern: (small size)
Construction:
1. Cast on 30 sts
2. Knit the first st as explained above (refer note)
3. K 30 sts every row till your work measures 6” – 7” (without stretching)
4. Stretch slightly to see if it fits the length of your foot
Decreasing row:
5) K1, k2tog all across, K1
6) Bind off. Leave a long tail to sew in later
Sewing to form the socks:
7) With the bind off side facing inwards, fold it, pass the needle in an
out, pull the yarn to close the toe area, secure it.
Do not close off the gap completely if you want to get the cute little hole effect on the toe.
8) Wip stitch it through only the front loop of both the sides
9) Stitch it up to half of its length, fasten off. Hide the extra tails.
10) Stitch up the back (heel area) by a simple wip stitch. Hide all extra tail.
11) Turn your work inside out and viola! There you have your beautiful
socks.
