Never made socks before did my research found out the principles of sock making and off l went hehe
1st effort far too big so went back to deciding on how many sts l needed to fit my foot then worked backwards on paper to get the right cast on chain number…9
increasing 2sts each end of the base chain 3 times giving me 30sts….the number needed for my fott using the yarn l had (need to get some proper 4ply sock yarn) and used a 4mm hook as the yarn was DK
Toe worked a treat 2nd time around…now to do the foot heal and leg!!
September 21st..made 3 pairs now
foot l did 13 rows od DC split the stitch count and replaced hald 15sts with a chain of 15 then continued on with the DC for another 8 rows then did a rib of 3 rows…work the DC into the front and then the back of the st below post!
Sew off end
HEEL
l picked up 30 stitches around the heel opening and decreased one stitch at each of the corners both sides until l had 7sts left on each side flattened them together and picked up half a st from each side and ss them together sew off end
finished
repeat for second sock
What fun that was
ade the other half to a pair this morning and it took me 2.5hours to make a sock
Now have 2.5 socks hehe….need another ball of the 1st choice yarn and some propa sock yarn
