SOCKS FOR 9 INCH LONG FOOT - WITH CAST ON 56 STITCHES

This is my standard, simple sock pattern, where I knit the heel and the toe area with a complementary color. For my complimentary color, I use usually a leftover sock yarn of the same thickness. In these socks, I also added a stripe in my ribbing for an extra effect.

I love my sock cuff to be knitted long, and stretchy all the way down to my ankles - to keep my leg warm.

If you would like to watch my sock musings - HERE IS THE VIDEO that I recorded for my New Year 2022. In it, I talk about these particular socks as well.

I also have SOCK playlists:

Material:

  • Approximately 400 m of any combination sock yarn; I used one ball of MC - Mayflower 1 Class, 75% Wool/25% Nylon, 210 m, 50 grams; for CC I used leftovers of ONline, Supersocke 100, Color - Savanne, Fingering, 75% Wool/25% Polyamide - about 140 m (total 420 m/100 grams in the ball)
  • DPNs, or long Circulars Knitting Needles #2 (2.75 mm) - if you knit loosely then 2.5mm needles
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle (for Kitchener Stitch & for weaving in the tails)

  • Length of the sole heel to toe: 9” (you can make it longer if you chose so)


Gouge (stockinette stitch):

  • on knitting needles size US #2 (2.75 mm) - 2"x2" = 15 sts x 21 rows


Abbreviation:

DPN(s) - double-pointed needle(s)
CO - cast on
MC - main color
CC - complimentary color
K - knit
P - purl
sl 1st st - slip first stitch purl-wise
SSK - slip knit-wise, slip knit-wise, and then knit them together through the back loop
P2tog - purl two stitches together
K2tog - knit two stitches together
wyb-slPst - with yarn in back slip purl stitch purl-wise
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
st(s) - stitch(es)
N1, N2, N3, N4 - if knitting with DPNs - needle #1, #2, #3, #4 respectively


Step-by-Step Directions:

We will work in sections (the cuff, the flap, the turning heel, the gusset, the foot, the toe part) and each of these sections will start with Row 1.

Make 2 identical socks.

Foundation: on knitting needles size US #2 (2.75 mm) cast on 56 stitches

The Cuff

Rnd 1          *[K1, P1]* - to end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, connect needles into a circle, start knitting in the round

Rnd 2-70      *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted this cuff really tall, about 7.5" tall

Do not cut off  MC - you will continue working with it on the gusset and part of your sock after you are finished with Turning The Heel.

The Heel Flap

NOTE: For the Heel Flap & Turning The Heel I used CC. 

If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needle #1 -28 sts, needles #2 and #3 - 14 sts each. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided to 28 + 28 between your magic loops. Work on your first 28 sts (needle #1) only, back and forth (NOT in the round) as such:

Row 1            (RS) *[K1, P1]* - repeat to end, turn
Row 2            (WS) *[K1, wyb-slPst]* - repeat to last 2 sts, then K1, P1

Repeat these 2 rows thirteen more times (total 14x = 28 rows)


Turning The Heel (row by row)

Keep working your sock with CC back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1. 


Row 1         (RS) sl. 1st st, K15, SSK, K1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 2         (WS) sl. 1st st, P5, P2tog, P1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 3         (RS) sl. 1st st, K6, SSK, K1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 4         (WS) sl. 1st st, P7, P2tog, P1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 5         (RS) sl. 1st st, K8, SSK, K1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 6         (WS) sl. 1st st, P9, P2tog, P1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 7         (RS) sl. 1st st, K10, SSK, K1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 8         (WS) sl. 1st st, P11, P2tog, P1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 9         (RS) sl. 1st st, K12, SSK, K1, (1 sts left on the needle), turn)
Row 10       (WS) sl. 1st st, P13, P2tog, P1, (1 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 11       (RS) sl. 1st st, K14, SSK,  (0 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 12       (WS) sl. 1st st, P14, P2tog, (0 sts left on the needle), fasten off yarn (16 sts)

The Gusset (in the round)

Note: For the gusset and the part of the foot (excluding the toe area), use MC color.
You will work from now on RS only in the round. 


You should have 16 sts on your needle #1, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. Note: If you are knitting on DPNs you will need 5 knitting needles to continue knitting this sock. If you are using circular needles insert markers between the 17-16-17-28 sts (while you're picking up your stitches on the side) to keep track of your sections. 

You will proceed as such:

  • N1 - turn your sock sideways and pick up 17 stitches with MC along the first side - distribute these 17 sts evenly, making sure there are no "holes" between the needles; (this will be the BEGINNING of the row now)
  • N2 - then knit 16 sts; (the "turning the heel stitches")
  • N3 - turn your sock sideways and pick up 17 stitches along the second side - distribute these 17 sts evenly; (second side of the flap)
  • N4 - then K28; (top of the foot - combined needles #2 & #3); 

Note: You should have 78 sts total. Now, we have to decrease stitches on both sides of your flap to get back to 56 sts total on all four needles (or on your circular needles). Do it as such:

Rnd 1            (N1) SSK, K15; (N2) K16; (N3) K15, K2tog; (N4) K28 (76 sts)
Rnd 2            (N1) SSK, K14; (N2) K16; (N3) K14, K2tog; (N4) K28 (74 sts)
Rnd 3            (N1) SSK, K13; (N2) K16; (N3) K13, K2tog; (N4) K28 (72 sts)
Rnd 4            (N1) SSK, K12; (N2) K16; (N3) K12, K2tog; (N4) K28 (70 sts)
Rnd 5            (N1) SSK, K11; (N2) K16; (N3) K11, K2tog; (N4) K28 (68 sts)
Rnd 6            (N1) SSK, K10; (N2) K16; (N3) K10, K2tog; (N4) K28 (66 sts)
Rnd 7            (N1) SSK, K9; (N2) K16; (N3) K9, K2tog; (N4) K28 (64 sts)
Rnd 8            (N1) SSK, K8; (N2) K16; (N3) K8, K2tog; (N4) K28 (62 sts)
Rnd 9            (N1) SSK, K7; (N2) K16; (N3) K7, K2tog; (N4) K28 (60 sts)
Rnd 10          (N1) SSK, K6; (N2) K16; (N3) K6, K2tog; (N4) K28 (58 sts)
Rnd 11          (N1) SSK, K5; (N2) K16; (N3) K5, K2tog; (N4) K28 (56 sts)


The Foot Part

Note: If you need to, reshuffle your stitches on your DPNs for ease of knitting. Each of my DPN had 14 sts. If you are knitting on circular needles, put a marker in the beginning and after 28th st. Knit as many rows as needed - for US foot size 7.5 I knitted 50 rows.

Rnd 1-44                K56

Note: Before you will start your toe part knit 6 rows with CC color (or a few more if you need your socks a tad longer). Then keep knitting the Toe Part with CC. 

Rnd 45-50              (CC) K56


The Toe Part

Rnd 1                    *[K2, K2tog, K20, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 2-3                 K52
Rnd 4                    *[K2, K2tog, K18, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 5-6                 K48
Rnd 7                    *[K2, K2tog, K16, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 8-9                 K44
Rnd 10                 *[K2, K2tog, K14, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 11-12             K40
Rnd 13                 *[K2, K2tog, K12, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 14                 K36
Rnd 15                 *[K2, K2tog, K10, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 16                 K32
Rnd 17                 *[K2, K2tog, K8, SSK, K2]* - 2x
Rnd 18                 *[K2, K2tog, K6, SSK, K2]* - 2x (24 sts)


To Finish Each Sock:

Move the first 12 sts onto one DPN, then move the last 12 sts onto another DPN, cut off about a foot-long tail, thread it into your yarn needle, and using the Kitchener Stitch close the toe gap. Weave in all the ends/tails. Then wear it or gift it.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem.

SOCKS FOR 10 PLUS INCH FOOT - WITH CAST ON 64 STITCHES

My daughter asked me for another pair of socks for a friend. I decided to use my leftover sock yarn - all in all, the leftovers came up to about a little less than 2 balls (2 different kinds of yarn).
My daughter told me that the shoe size of this young lady is 11. Since they are living very far from me and didn't have measurements of my daughter's friend's feet, I had to do some research on how approximately long these socks need to be. And I just second-guessed how wide the socks could most likely be. After much of thinking and poking around the internet, I decided to start socks on 64 sts. The socks are knitted like the "Simple Socks For Gentlemen - Shoe Size 13" - however, I tweaked the number of rows and decreases a bit, and changed the decreases in the toe area a little (made it more round instead of angular.)
Oh yes and don't forget to check my YouTube Channel also - plenty of other detailed videos there.

In the meantime knit some socks for your daughters, sons, other family members, friends... If you need help, see the video for reference. More videos will be posted on my Youtube channel in the future.

Step-by-Step Directions:

Make 2.

Foundation: on knitting needles size US #2 (2.75 mm) cast on 64 stitches


The Cuff

I knitted the initial 7 rows with CC yarn, then I switched to MC yarn.

Rnd 1-7          (CC) *[K1, P1]* - to the end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, connect needles into a circle

Rnd 8-50      (MC) *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted this cuff about 5.5" long.
Note: Do not cut off your MC yarn, you will continue with it after you are finished with your heel flap and turning heel.


The Heel Flap

For the heel flap, I used CC yarn.
If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needle #1 -32 sts, needles #2 and #3 - 16 sts each. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided into 32 + 32 between your magic loops. Use markers if needed.

Row 1-20      Work on your first 32 sts only back and forth (NOT in the round) - *[K1, P1]* - to the end (of each row)
Note: This heel is not reinforced with slip stitches thus only 20 rows.


Turning The Heel (row by row)

Keep working your sock back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1.

Row 1     (RS) sl. 1st st, K17, SSK, K1, (11 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 2     (WS) sl. 1st st, P5, P2tog, P1, (11 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 3     (RS) sl. 1st st, K6, SSK, K1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 4     (WS) sl. 1st st, P7, P2tog, P1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 5     (RS) sl. 1st st, K8, SSK, K1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 6     (WS) sl. 1st st, P9, P2tog, P1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 7     (RS) sl. 1st st, K10, SSK, K1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 8     (WS) sl. 1st st, P11, P2tog, P1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 9     (RS) sl. 1st st, K12, SSK, K1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn)
Row 10   (WS) sl. 1st st, P13, P2tog, P1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 11   (RS) sl. 1st st, K14, SSK, K1, (1 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 12   (WS) sl. 1st st, P15, P2tog, P1, (1 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 13   (RS) sl. 1st st, K16, SSK, turn
Row 14   (WS) sl. 1st st, P16 to last 2 sts , P2tog, (total 18 sts on the needle)


The Gusset
 (round by round)

Note: you will work from now on RS only in the round. Use MC from now on until the toe area.

You should finish with 18 sts on your needle, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. You will proceed as such:
  • turn your sock sideways and pick up 13 stitches along the first side using a knitting needle and your MC color yarn; 
  • then K18 (the "turning the heel stitches")
  • pick up another 13 sts along the other side of the flap
  • then K32 sts - you should have now 76 stitches on your needles, distributed as such: N1(this will be the BEGINNING of the row) - 13 sts (= first side of the flap); N2 - 18 sts (from turning the heel); N3 - 13 sts (= second side of the flap); N4 - 36 sts (top of the foot) 
Note: If you are knitting on DPNs you will need 5 knitting needles to continue knitting this sock. If you are using circular needles insert markers between the 13-18-13-36 sts to keep track of your work.
Now we have to decrease some stitches on both sides of your flap to get back to 64 sts total on our needles - we will do that by decreasing while working on our gusset.

Let's start with Rnd 1 on the side using MC (from the cuff)

Rnd 1        (N1) SSK, K11; (N2) K18; (N3) K11, K2tog; (N4) K32 (74)
Rnd 2        K74
Rnd 3        (N1) SSK, K10; (N2) K18; (N3) K10, K2tog; (N4) K32 (72)
Rnd 4        K72
Rnd 5        (N1) SSK, K9; (N2) K18; (N3) K9, K2tog; (N4) K32 (70)
Rnd 6        K70
Rnd 7        (N1) SSK, K8; (N2) K18; (N3) K8, K2tog; (N4) K32 (68)
Rnd 8        K68
Rnd 9        (N1) SSK, K7; (N2) K18; (N3) K7, K2tog; (N4) K32 (66)
Rnd 10       K66
Rnd 11       (N1) SSK, K6; (N2) K18; (N3) K6, K2tog; (N4) K32 (64)



The Foot Part

Let's start with Rnd 1 again for ease of counting.

Rnd 1-60     K64


The Toe Part

Switch yarn color to CC. Let's start with Rnd 1

Rnd 1       *[K2tog, K28, SSK]* - 2x
Rnd 2       K60
Rnd 3       *[K2tog, K26, SSK]* - 2x
Rnd 4       K56
Rnd 5       *[K2tog, K24, SSK]* - 2x
Rnd 6       K52
Rnd 7       *[K2tog, K22, SSK]* - 2x; (48 sts)
Rnd 8       *[K2tog, K20, SSK]* - 2x; (44 sts)
Rnd 9       *[K2tog, K18, SSK]* - 2x; (40 sts)
Rnd 10     *[K2tog, K16, SSK]* - 2x; (36 sts)
Rnd 11     *[K2tog, K14, SSK]* - 2x; (32 sts)
Rnd 12     *[K2tog, K12, SSK]* - 2x; (28 sts)
Rnd 13     *[K2tog, K10, SSK]* - 2x; (24 sts)


To Finish Each Sock:

Combine the first 12 sts on one needle, then combine the last 12 sts on another needle, cut off about a foot-long tail, thread it into your yarn needle, and using the Kitchener Stitch close the toe gap. Weave in all the ends/tails. Then wear it or gift it.

Socks With Pocket - Women US Shoe Size 6-7

Many moons ago I knitted a "Mousie" - finger puppet for my daughter. After she grew up Mousie was just laying around and no one played with it anymore. 

Then I remembered that not too long ago I saw an image of socks with a pocket. The pocket was for a tiny toy. I thought that would be a great idea to make these socks, insert Mousie inside the pocket for my (now adult) daughter and send it to her. She is a kid at heart and I thought it would make a great gift for her birthday. 

I thought that a slightly thicker yarn would be the best too - the socks would be for lounging in the bed when it is cold outside and she'd feel just relaxing, and reading books. Make a great gift for the winter holidays. If you are an experienced knitter you could make socks of any size with any yarn and adjust the pocket accordingly.

I have a big stash of KnitPicks "Bare" yarn, so that's the yarn that I chose to work with on these socks. 


Material: 


Size:
  • Length of the sole (heel to toe): ~8” (you can make it longer if you chose so)
  • Ankle Area: ~ circumference of K1/P1 ribbing is ~9" (stretched)
  • Sole width: 4.5” flat;

Gouge:

On knitting needles #5 (3.75mm) - 1” x 1” = 6 sts x 8 rows (in stockinette stitch)


Abbreviation:

DPN(s) - double-pointed needle(s)
CO - cast on
K - knit
P - purl
sl 1st st - slip first stitch purl-wise
SSK - slip knit-wise, slip knit-wise, and then knit them together through the back loop
P2tog - purl two stitches together
K2tog - knit two stitches together
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
st(s) - stitch(es)
N1, N2, N3, N4 - if knitting with DPNs - needle #1, #2, #3, #4 respectively


Step-by-Step Directions:

Make 2.

Foundation: cast on 54 stitches

  • The Cuff
Rnd 1          *[K1, P1]* - to end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, join stitches into a circle

Rnd 2-16      *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Note: you can make your cuff longer if you want. 
Rnd 17-22    K54

  • Pocket #1
Start knitting back and forth, count rows starting at 1

LINING:
Row 1           K52 (2 sts left), turn
Row 2           P12, turn
Row 3           K12, turn
Row 4           P12, turn

Repeat Rows 3 and 4  four more times (Rows 5-12), do not BO these stitches - leave the stitches on DPN needle, fasten off yarn, leave a 1-foot long tail

POCKET & SOCK CONTINUED: rows correspond with the pocket rows, start knitting in the round
Rnd 1           with about a foot long tail (later on the tail will be needed for sewing up the side) CO 12 sts (outside pocket part); join unfinished Row 1 by K2
Rnd 2           K40, join stitches into the circle, (outside pocket part) - *[K1, P1]* - 6x, K2
Rnd 3-5        K40, *[K1, P1]* - 6x, K2
Rnd 6-13      K54, Note - outside pocket part has one extra row

Connect the lining part with the outside pocket part

Rnd 14         K40, K2tog from both needles - 12x line up 12 stitches from both needles (lining and outside pocket) to combine them as such - insert working knitting needle into first st from the outside part, then insert the same working needle into first st from the lining part and knit these two stitches together - repeat 11 more times, K2
Rnd 15-24    K54

  • Pocket #2 (on the opposite side)
Start knitting back and forth, count rows starting at 1

LINING:
Row 1           K28 (26 sts left), turn
Row 2           P12, turn
Row 3           K12, turn
Row 4           P12, turn

Repeat Rows 3 and 4  four more times (Rows 5-12), do not BO these stitches - leave the stitches on DPN needle, fasten off yarn, leave a 1-foot long tail for sewing one side

POCKET & SOCK CONTINUED: rows correspond with the pocket rows, start knitting in the round
Rnd 1           with about a foot long tail (later on the tail will be needed for sewing up the side) CO 12 sts (outside pocket part); join unfinished Row 1 by K14 (Note: watch my video for a little trick how to make sure there is not a big gap when you are joining the row into a circle)

Rnd 15-24    K54
  • The Heel Flap
If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needles #1 and #2 - 10 sts each, needle #3 - 8 sts. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided to 14 + 14 between your magic loops.

Row 21-26      Work on your first 14 sts only back and forth (NOT in the round) - *[K1, P1]* - 7x

  • Turning The Heel (row by row)
Keep working your sock back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1.

Row 1     (RS) sl. 1st st, K7, SSK, K1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 2     (WS) sl. 1st st, P3, P2tog, P1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn

Row 6     (WS) sl. 1st st, P6, P2tog, (0 sts left on the needle), turn

  • The Gusset (knit in the round)
Note: you will work from now on RS only in the round.

You should finish with 8 sts on your working needle, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. You will proceed as such (starting with Rnd 1 again):

Rnd 1             K8, PU 5, K14, PU 5
Rnd 2             K11, K2tog, K14, SSK, K3
Rnd 3             K30
Rnd 4             K10, K2tog, K14, SSK, K2
Rnd 5             K28
Rnd 6             K9, K2tog, K14,  Note: This is the end of your row. We will start a new row after this point. If you are knitting on DPNs reshuffle your stitches to N1 (first 10 stitches), then split your 14 sts between N2 and N3

  • The Foot Part
Rnd 7             SSK, K1 (Note: add these two stitches to N1), K24 (total 26 sts)

Rnd 2          K20
Rnd 3           *[K2tog, K6, SSK]* - 2x
Rnd 4          K16
Rnd 5           *[K2tog, K4, SSK]* - 2x (total 12 sts)

  • To Finish Each Sock:
In order to close your toe gap with Kitchener stitch, you need 6 stitches lined up with the other 6 stitches. If knitting with DPNs you may have first 6 sts on the first needle already, but you need to place the next 6 sts (from needles #2 and #3) on another needle. Cut off about 1/2 a foot-long tail, thread it into your yarn needle, and using the Kitchener Stitch close the toe gap. Weave in all the ends/tails.

Socks From Leftover Yarn For 3-6 Month Old Babies

You probably will see more baby patterns on my blog for a while. That's because our friend had a baby and I love to knit for babies.

Here are another tiny socks knitted from a leftover yarn (which I used to knit my daughter's boyfriend's socks). Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand of the yarn. Although I  tried to search for this particular color I just didn't find any image online. The closest was the "Wisdom Yarns" sock yarn. 

I believe that you could use basically any sock yarn to knit these socks for about 3 months old baby.  

My next project will be socks for 6-9 months old rascal.



Material:
  • Yarn: leftover sock yarn (any sock yarn)
  • Knitting needles 2.75 mm - either DPNs or Circular - whichever ones you prefer
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle

Size:
  • Length of the sole (heel to toe): ~3.5” (you can make it longer if you chose so)
  • Ankle Area: ~ circumference of K1/P1 ribbing is 4"(unstretched) to ~6" (stretched)
  • Ribbing (Cuff) Height: 2.75”
  • Heel Flap: 0.75"
  • Sole width: 2” flat; (circumference is ~ 4+”)

Gouge:

On knitting needles 2.75mm - 1” x 1” = 7 sts x 10 rows (in stockinette stitch)


Abbreviation:

DPN(s) - double-pointed needle(s)
CO - cast on
K - knit
P - purl
sl 1st st - slip first stitch purl-wise
SSK - slip knit-wise, slip knit-wise, and then knit them together through the back loop
P2tog - purl two stitches together
K2tog - knit two stitches together
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
st(s) - stitch(es)


Step-by-Step Directions:

Make 2.

Foundation: cast on 36 stitches

  • The Cuff
Rnd 1          *[K1, P1]* - to end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 3 or 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, join stitches into a circle

Rnd 2-26      *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted my cuff 2.75" long.

  • The Heel Flap
If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needle #1 (the heel flap needle) - 18 sts, and needles #2 and #3 - 9 sts. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided to 18 + 18 between your magic loops.

Row 27-34      Work on your first 18 sts only back and forth (NOT in the round) - *[K1, P1]* - 9x

  • Turning The Heel (row by row)
Keep working your sock back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1.

Row 8     (WS) sl. 1st st, P8, P2tog, (0 sts left on the needle), turn

  • The Gusset (knit in the round)
Note: you will work from now on RS only in the round.

MISTI ALPACA - a wonderfully soft yarn for any baby project. This is a sock yarn, but it is so soft that any baby will love to wear it. The yarn is 50% Alpaca, 30% Merino, 10% silk, and 10% Nylon. You cannot go wrong.

I am a big fan - look for a video where I will show you my niece's baby wearing the hat, gloves, and socks I knitted as a gift.

Tiny Baby Socks

Tiny Baby Socks © HandmadeRukodelky 2020
I have written several simple sock patterns that I published on my blog.

Today, I would like to introduce you to my newest simple sock pattern for tiny babies. I knitted these socks with DK weight yarn, which is not too thin but not too thick to work with either. So if you are a seasoned knitter that would like to learn how to knit socks, you could start with socks for babies using semi-thin yarn. When you learn these basics you can move onto larger socks and then with more experience onto complex ones. 

Is this written pattern giving you a hard time? Do you prefer knitting along with videos? I have two of them - one for righties and one for lefties. Simply click on my video and knit with me. 

Should you want to knit baby shorts from the same yarn - CLICK HERE.

Enjoy. Good Luck.

Knitted "Breezy Day Shorts" Pattern

Who doesn't love to knit for babies? It is so much fun. And when my friends tell me someone in their family is expecting, I start thinking about a new design. I love to make them something special. Something no one has yet.
My friend will have a baby closer to the fall - when the weather is changing all the time. When hot days replace cool days or nights. When babies may need something warmer, but still semi-summery. With all that on my mind, I designed these tiny shorts (and then knitted socks to go with them).

As I was working on my design, I recorded my progress not only on the paper but I videotaped the knitting tutorial as well. And here I am sharing my project with you.

You will need 1 skein of DK yarn. If you would like to knit socks also then you will need a few more yards of the second skein.

The shorts may be slightly big for a newborn, but perfectly fine on a 3 months old baby. However, some babies are born bigger than others, so keep that in mind.
There is a FREE PATTERN for baby socks on THIS PAGE



"BREEZY DAY SHORTS" PATTERN ( on RAVELRY)   


 


Materials:


Size:

0-3 months;
Waist - up to 18”
Hip circumference - 20+”
Leg circumference - up to 11”
Rise - 14” (waist to crotch - 6.75”)


Gouge (stockinette stitch):

On knitting needles #5 (3.75mm) - 1” x 1” = 6 sts x 8 rows

Simple Socks For Gentlemen - Shoe Size 13

Simple Socks Shoe Size 13 - HandMadeRukodelky ©2020
My first nearly 2 weeks of the self-quarantine sock project - knitting, videotaping, editing, and posting online are done. The pattern and videos below (one for righties and one for lefties) are great for people who are learning how to knit socks.

Knitting socks on thin needles with a thin yarn can be time-consuming, but I love knitting socks no matter how long they take to knit - a few days or a couple of weeks. After I am done with my socks, I love putting them on my feet even more than knitting them.
My family absolutely loves hand-knitted socks just as much as I do. So much that I make them as gifts and they don't sneer or complain: "Socks? There was nothing else?" No, on the contrary, they try them right away and express their happiness (which makes me feel great - my hard work was not wasted).

The Cuff

I started with MB color.

Rnd 1          *[K1, P1]* - to end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, connect needles into a circle

Rnd 2-60      *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted my cuff about 6" long.


The Heel Flap

For the heel flap, I used DB color; however, you can knit your sock using just one color to knit your heel flap and, of course, "turning your heel".
If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needle #1 -36 sts, needles #2 and #3 - 18 sts each. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided to 36 + 36 between your magic loops.

Row 61-90      Work on your first 36 sts only back and forth (NOT in the round) - *[K1, P1]* - to end (of each row)


Turning The Heel (row by row)

Keep working your sock back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1.

Row 1     (RS) sl. 1st st, K19, SSK, K1, (13 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 2     (WS) sl. 1st st, P5, P2tog, P1, (13 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 3     (RS) sl. 1st st, K6, SSK, K1, (11 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 4     (WS) sl. 1st st, P7, P2tog, P1, (11 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 5     (RS) sl. 1st st, K8, SSK, K1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 6     (WS) sl. 1st st, P9, P2tog, P1, (9 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 7     (RS) sl. 1st st, K10, SSK, K1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 8     (WS) sl. 1st st, P11, P2tog, P1, (7 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 9     (RS) sl. 1st st, K12, SSK, K1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn)
Row 10   (WS) sl. 1st st, P13, P2tog, P1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 11   (RS) sl. 1st st, K14, SSK, K1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 12   (WS) sl. 1st st, P15, P2tog, P1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 13   (RS) sl. 1st st, K16, SSK, K1, (1 st left on the needle), turn
Row 14   (WS) sl. 1st st, P17, P2tog, P1, sl last st (total 22 sts on the needle)


The Gusset
 (in the round)

Note: you will work from now on RS only in the round. Use MB from now on until the toe area.

You should finish "turning the heel" with 22 sts on your needle, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. You will proceed as such:

Note: If you are knitting on DPNs you will need 5 knitting needles to continue knitting this sock. If you are using circular needles insert markers between the 18-22-18-36 sts to keep track of your work.
  • start with MB colored yarn! - turn your sock sideways and pick up 18 stitches along the first side using a knitting needle and your MB color yarn - I added 2 extra stitches at the beginning and 1 extra stitch at the end of the flap (total 18 sts) because I didn't want to end up with a big space between the needles; 
  • then K22 (the "turning the heel stitches")
  • pick up another 18 sts along the other side of the flap (adding 1 and 2 sts at the beginning and at the end respectively)
  • then K36 sts - you should have now 94 stitches on your needles, distributed as such: N1(this will be BEGINNING of the row) - 18 sts (= first side of the flap); N2 - 22 sts (from turning the heel); N3 - 18 sts (= second side of the flap); N4 - 36 sts (top of the foot) 
Note: Now we have to decrease some stitches on both sides of your flap to get back to 72 sts total on our needles - we will do that by decreasing while working on our gusset.

To Finish Each Sock:

Place the first 16 sts on one needle, place the next 16 sts on the second needle, cut off about a foot-long tail, thread it into your yarn needle, and using the Kitchener Stitch close the toe gap. Weave in all the ends/tails. Then wear it or gift it.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
