In this step-by-step knitting tutorial, Madeline from Knitting House Square shows step-by-step how to create a custom sock pattern that fits! This is a pattern recipe, where you will use your foot measurements, and a few calculations to create your own sock pattern.
Madeline starts off by showing the measurements you need to take before beginning. You can either measure your feet or use one of the Shoe Size to Foot Measurement Guides listed below. Once you have your measurements, the next step will be to calculate the number of stitches you need to cast-on. With the cast-on number determined, Madeline will show you how to cast on and knit the sock leg and cuff to your desired length. Next up is the heel, where you will create a custom heel that is perfectly configured based on the number of stitches you cast on. Once the heel is complete, you will knit the foot of the sock, and lastly, Madeline will show you how to calculate how many toe decrease rounds you need, and how to determine when to work the decrease rounds.
These socks are knit out of a thicker yarn than the typical sock (DK weight, rather than the standard fingering weight), so this makes for a great thick, warm, and FAST pair of socks you can knit. The socks make great winter and boot socks. They can be customized for anyone and any size!
