Knitted socks worked with dpns needle, from the leg to the toes.

Material :
Double pointed needle no. 2,5 , I used 50 g (160m) of beige cotton - Cotton soft bio from Mondial,

or other thick yarn for size 2.5 needles,
2 stitch markers, scissors and sewing needle

Sizes :
XS, S, M, L

Stitches used :
knit stitch, purl stitch, enlongated knit stitch, decreases, slip st

Notes :

  • sizes are based on leg/ankle width (not foot length)
  • color 1 - base (multicolor Moonwalk Motown), color 2 (col.beige)
  • for the execution are attached videos
  • Attention! in the brick stitch video, between one elongated stitch and the next there are only 3 knit sts. In the socks there are 4 stitches between two elongated stitches
  • the decrease is worked knit 2 stitches together
  • to see how to work the toe and the heel I put the link for the other type of video socks, but the toe and heel I worked in the same way
  • when you change color cross the threads to avoid the hole (Photo 17)
  • when dividing the bead into 3 parts, place the marker between each part
  • slip stitch is worked by passing 1 st to the right without working it
