![]() ![]() The faux seam is meant to fix this issue and give the socks the “usual look”. If you make socks for a non-knitter, they might not like the look of the socks because “something is missing”. ![]() I added this little feature to the pattern not because I strive to match the look of mass-produced socks, but because people are often puzzled by an unusual look of usual items. This step is optional and you can easily skip it. When the shaping is done, we’ll add a faux seam to visually separate the toe part from the foot part of the sock just as an actual seam separates these two parts on machine-made socks that we see in stores. We’ll make sure the shaping mimics the natural curve of the toe part of a human foot to provide the best possible comfort when we wear these socks later on. Once we get the initial number of stitches on the needles, we’ll get busy shaping the toe part of the sock. Just keep in mind that it could be a bit challenging to work the first few rounds of the sock using the double-pointed needles. Let’s just call it “the beginning of a sock” □Īs we make the sock, we’ll use a long circular needle and the magic loop technique, but you are more than welcome to use two short circular needles or even double-pointed needles. ![]() It is fully invisible and I’m not even sure we can call it “an edge”. This cast on forms an edge that looks very similar to the rest of the toe part of the sock. We’ll start by casting on stitches using a seamless cast on. Watch this part of the knit-along in a detailed video tutorial. In the first part of this knit-along, we’ll work through the first 3 steps of the pattern. ![]() That’s also where you can get the pattern as an instant PDF download. The exact yarn yardage for each size is listed on the pattern page. The pattern provides instructions for 7 sizes from Toddler to Large Adult so you can make socks for everyone in your family. There are just a few things you will need to join this knit-along – sock yarn (you will only need one 50 g / 1.7 oz ball for most sizes), 2.5 mm (US size 1.5) circular needles, a locking stitch marker (a basic safety pin will do), a wool needle and a copy of the Sneaker Socks pattern. Then I’ll put together hours of recording into a set of three video tutorials and share those videos with you to help you confidently make a pair of Sneaker Socks even if you’ve never knitted socks before. I’ll record every step while I knit one of these super-comfortable low-cut socks in my studio. In this knit-along, we’ll make a pair of Sneaker Socks together. I am happy to invite you to our first-ever community knit-along! ![]()
