How to Knit Your Own Socks

You'll Need:

Yarn (any you like);

Knitting needles size depends on the chosen yarn.

Instructions

At first, measure the size of your foot and define the quantity of sts (it should be odd). For adults, it'll be about 40-60 sts. At first, make the upper part, then the sides.

Toe

You can use any dense pattern for the upper part, for example, rib. If you want to make a lapel, your upper part should consist of 20 rows; without a lapel - 10 rows.

Divide the side into 2 parts, add 1 st in the middle and knit the upper part of the toe with garter stitch. (Make 1 half, then, yarn over, knit the middle st, yarn over and finish the second half).

Sole

Divide your work into 3 parts; the middle part should consist of 11 sts. Knit the row to the middle, knit the 10th st and 11th st together with the next part. Turn your work and knit 11 sts until your work has the same length as your foot.

Heel

Knit the rest of the sts from the first knitting needle from the side, then from the second one.
