Basic Sock Pattern – 4ply
These were knitting out of Opal sock yarn
- I love the way you can tell that they’re a pair, but they don’t match!
These socks are very similar to the above pattern, and turn out beautifully.
For my latest pair of socks I am using Katia OIe` Gaudi Sock yarn. This yarn is soft and colourful, and knits wonderfully. The colourway knits into a ‘Gaudi-style’ pattern. The colours in the yarn I have chosen are blue white and yellow, I will add pictures once these socks are complete.
The other pictures in this post are socks knitted using this same pattern, but different yarn. These socks can be knitted using any 4ply yarn.
PATTERN:
- Cast on 85 stitches on 2 2.75 double-pointed needles.
- Work 2×3 (knit 2, purl 3) rib for 70 rows
- Decrese 1 stitch in every purl section – 68 stitches
- work 1 row 2×2 rib
- Knit 30 rows
- Work 34 stitches in scrap yarn (preferably a different colour)
- Knit 60 Rows
- Work toe decrease as follows, making sure there are 34 stitches each needle. Row 1 – K1, SSK, Knit to last 3 stitches on needle, K2tog, K1. Repeat on the second needle. Row 2 – Knit. Repeat these 2 rows until there are 14 stitches on each needle, turn the sock inside out and cast off remaining stitches using the 3 needle cast off method.
- Pick up 64 stitches on the heel, 34 stitches on each needle, removing the scrap yarn. Work as toe decrease – Row 1 K1, SSK, Knit to last 3 stitches on the needle, K2togn K1. Repeat on second needle. Row2 – Knit. Repeat these 2 rows until there are 12 stitches on needle, turn sock inside out and cast off remaining stitches using 3 needle cast off method.
- Sew away and threads, and close up the little holes that appear from picking up the stitches aroung the heel.
This is the most basic method I have found to knit socks, they are quick and easy and best of all, the socks are comfortable!
Happy Knitting
