Introduction
Meet Donna Druchunas and find out all the reasons why toe-up sock knitting is a great technique.
Anatomy of a Sock
Get to know your socks more intimately. Learn about cuffs, legs, heel flaps and turns, gussets, insteps and toes.
Design Considerations
Learn all about construction choices, pattern stitches and all kinds of yarns to make your perfect pair of socks.
Moccasin Toe
This toe-up method creates a six-stitch band that extends across the toe.
Wedge Toe
Learn how to make the wedge-toe, a simple geometric toe.
Short Row Toe
The short row toe uses the wrap-and-turn method of shaping. Learn how to decrease and increase in short rows.
Afterthought Heels
Move on from toes to heels! The afterthought heel involves placing stitches on scrap yarn, then returning to work them later.
Gusset Heels
Move on to a more complicated heel. Gusset heels involve a turn, a heel flap and some shaping for a smooth transition across the instep.
Short Row Heels
Like the short row toe, this heel uses the wrap and turn method to shape a curved heel pocket.
Sock Planning Worksheet
Donna goes over the worksheet and all the measurements and calculations you need to get perfect-fitting socks without trepidation.
Knit Toe & Foot
Get started on your socks! Cast on, work your chosen toe, then work even until you’re ready to begin your heel.
Knit the Heel
Customize your socks using the heels you’ve just learned. Choose the gusset, afterthought or short row heel.
Knit Leg & Cuff
The hard stuff is done! Now you’ll learn add stretchy ribbing for the leg of your sock and make the cuff any size you need.
Finishing
A stretchy bind-off and some tricks for invisible finishing wrap up your custom sock adventure.
Bonus: Two Socks at Once
Use two circular needles to create both socks simultaneously, avoiding the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome.
Bonus: Reading Charts
Speed your stitch pattern reading by learning how to decipher knitting charts.
