This is my first pair of knitted socks that I ever made. It has taken me a while to build up the guts to knit socks and a lot of research to find the right toe and heel that are both practical and comfortable to wear.
I did a lot of experimenting to get what I think is a great sock.

This pattern is knit from the toe up. This is such a great way to make socks because your getting one of the most difficult parts done right at the beginning. The cast on is a little tricky, but with a small amount of practice you’ll be rockin’ it!

I have included my knitting tips and tricks for socks with pictures to help you through your sock knitting journey.
