What Makes These Sock Patterns Advanced Beginner Patterns?
Even though most of these socks are knit using the stockinette stitch (a very beginner stitch), most of them are knit in the round using the magic loop method. This method isn’t really beginner friendly, however it’s a great technique for small circumference projects like sleeves, socks and baby hats. And especially handy if you don’t like seams, like me.
Helpful Skills & Techniques for Sock Knitting
- How to knit in the round using the magic loop method.
- For top-down socks it’s helpful to know how to decrease stitches for the toes.
- For toe-up socks it’s helpful to know how to increase stitches for the toes.
- The Kitchener Stitch is helpful if you want an invisible & not bulky toe seam.
- Blocking is not necessary. 🥳 I didn’t block any of my socks, but if I were giving them as gifts, I’d steam them to help even out the stitches.
