KNITTNG SOCKS

When selecting yarn for sock knitting, it is important to consider the weight and fibre content of the yarn. The yarn should contain at least 20% nylon for a durable and long-lasting finished pair of socks.  The other 80% can be wool, or any fibre you prefer. Fingering weight yarns are the most popular for knitting socks as they are lightweight and give a great fit.  You will need at least 100g of sock yarn to complete an average sized pair of socks.

 In this blog, I am going to talk about which knitting needles to use. Whether you knit a pair of socks using double pointed needles or on a circular knitting needle using the Magic Loop method, it's all a matter of personal preference. Sometimes I start knitting my socks using the Magic Loop technique, then I switch to my double pointed needles when I am turning the heel and then switch back again when I start the instep. Knitting Socks on Double Pointed Needles is a very common method and a good starting point for any beginner knitter.  Knitting socks using The Magic Loop Method allows you to create a tube using one circular knitting needle.

Are you intimidated by the idea of knitting socks for the first time?  Or are you a beginner knitter and want to knit your first pair of socks?  I am here to encourage you that socks are not difficult to knit and requires only basic knitting skills.  I am not kidding and YES you can !!!
