Date: 16/01/2022

In this series we will learn how to knit a pair of basic socks in any yarn and any size you want!

After mastering the math and techniques needed for knitting a basic sock you can easily adapt your socks and personalise them with different techniques for heels, toes, stitch patterns and color work to create pairs of unique socks! 

Knitting socks can seem intimidating, but it’s really not that hard. When you have learned the basics sock knitting is both fun and rather fast as the projects are small :)

In this first part, we calculate how many stitches is needed, we also cast on stitches and knit a ribbed cuff/leg.
The other parts will be published with one week apart.

Part 3, we turn (shape) the heel
Part 4, we pick up stitches and knit the gusset
Part 5, we decrease and make a rounded toe
