Instructions

Cast On

CO 60 stitches onto your needles.

Knit Ribbing

K1, P1 for 2 inches.

Heel Flap

Divide your stitches in half, with 30 stitches on each needle. Knit the first 30 stitches, turn your work, and knit back. Repeat this process until the heel flap measures approximately 2.5 inches.

Heel and Leg

Join the heel and leg by knitting across all 20 stitches. Knit every row until the leg measures approximately 5 inches.

Toe

Divide your stitches in half, with 10 stitches on each needle. Knit the first 10 stitches, turn your work, and knit back. Repeat this process, decreasing one stitch on each end of every row, until there are 2 stitches remaining on each needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and pull it through the remaining stitches to bind off.

Finishing

Weave in any loose ends and block your socks to give them a nice shape. Enjoy your new, handmade socks!

Tips for Beginners

Use a light-colored yarn so that you can easily see your stitches.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Everyone makes mistakes when they're first learning to knit. Just rip out your stitches and start over.
If you get stuck, there are plenty of resources available online and in libraries. Don't hesitate to ask for help!
Be patient and don't give up! Knitting takes practice, but it's a rewarding skill to learn.

Congratulations! You've now completed your first pair of socks. We hope you enjoyed this pattern and found it easy to follow. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
