How to easily knit socks?

There are many ways to knit socks : from tip to ankle (toe-up), from top to bottom (cuff-down), reinforcing the heel, in shortened rows or afterwards, with a pattern or in stockinette stitch … In this tutorial, we knit the toe-up socks with a heel in short rows.

Step 1 : Start by casting on 12 stitches on each needle using the Judy’s magic cast on or Turkish cast on method.

Then increase to form the tip of the sock:

  • Positioning rank : everything in place
  • Rank 1 :
    • acute 1: 1m end, increase crossed out, end to 1m, increase barred, 1m end.
    • aig 2: same as aig 1.
  • Rank 2 : everything in place.

Repeat these 2 rows until you get 60m (30 on each needle).

You may need more or less stitches, so you need to try the sock on your foot regularly.

Step 2: The foot

Once the toe is made, knit in the round in stockinette stitch for stripes, or by following a pattern (be careful, only on the top of the foot so as not to interfere when walking) until you obtain a length 5 cm below of the length of the foot.

Step 3: The heel

Then go to the heel. There are also many ways to make a heel, here we use shortened rows.

Knit the ea1 according to the pattern.

The next row is worked only with the stitches of needle 2 back and forth.

  • Row 1 (END): K 29 and turn the work.
  • Row 2 (ENV): gl 1 m, 27m env and turn the work.
  • Row 3 (END): gl-approx 1 m, end 26 and turn the work.

Repeat rows 2 and 3, knitting one st less each time a total of 8 times and row 2 once more. Until you have 15 central sts not knitted.

  • Row 4 (END): gl-env 1 m, 14m end, 1 single overlock, AID, and turn the job.
  • Row 5 (ENV): gl 1 m, approx 15m, approx 2m en, AID, and turn the job.

Repeat row 4 and 5, 8 times in total and row 4 once more.

Step 4: The ankle

Then resume knitting in the round in stocking stitch or following the pattern (you can integrate it on the back of the ankle). Knit 13-15 cm from the heel to create high socks (to calculate the size, fold the sock in half and knit until almost reaching the end of the toe).

Step 5: The ribs

Then go to the ribs, again you can choose the one you prefer: 1/1, 2/2, 3/2 … Ideally, choose the 2/2 ribs. Knit 12 rows of ribs.

Step 6: The flap

Bind off using a much larger needle number (4.5mm) to keep the elasticity and to be able to put on the socks. You can also make an elastic flap.
