My daughter will love these!
ReplyDeleteGreat! There will actually be a Knit A Long for these socks starting up at AllFreeKnitting shortly!
DeleteDo they HAVE to be flat? I hate seams in my socks!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Linda: Yes, this is a pattern for socks knit flat.
DeleteMy sister & I have been wanting to knit socks...so far we haven't been able to complete a pair. Hopefully this will help us get a completed pair!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope this is the pair that you and your sister finish together :).
DeleteCould I do them in the round???
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is written for knitting flat, lej619. So, if you wanted to knit them in the round, you would need to change the pattern so that the right side was always facing you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a beginner knitter. I would love to join in, and learn to knit a pair of socks.Thank for taking the time to show us beginner and it nice to know someone will be there to help if we get stuck.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Kizzy. I hope you have a lot of fun with the socks!
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me where is the pattern. I've clicked every link, and no pattern, just a video.

ReplyDeleteOn row one it said k2,p2 to the end then on rows 2-6 do i k2.p2.on row 2 five time knit it and row 3 knit it five time and so on
ReplyDeleteHi Kizzy: For each of the next five rows (Row 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), you repeat the entire Row 1 (*K2, P2* across). I hope this clears things up.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, could you explain Row 13-48. I'm not quite getting it. The same with Row 49-54. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Kizzy:
ReplyDeleteFor Rows 13-48, you will repeat Rows 1-12 three times. For example:
Row 13 - Repeat Row 1
Row 14 - Repeat Row 2
Row 15 - Repeat Row 3
Row 16 - Repeat Row 4
and so on until you are at Row 48.
For Row 49 - Repeat Row 1
Row 50 - Repeat Row 2
Row 51 - Repeat Row 3
and so on until you reach Row 54.
Here are two suggestions for keeping track of your rows for a pattern like this. You could use a row counter. Or, what I do is I write down the row numbers on the pattern and then I cross off each row as I finish it. I hope this clears things up.
wow this is all so new to me,but I love knitting,after writing the number down on paper and counting then out like u said I see how it is done Thank so much for you help.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it is all making sense, Kizzy. Thanks so much for your support of Galler Yarns.
DeleteI'm confused .. for the gussett, do I pick up the 11 slip stitches from the heel flap or from the heel turn? This is my first sock so I would appreciate any help....thanks.

Hi Barb: Michelle says, "You will pick up your stitches from the heel flap. They will then join the stitches from the heel turn to create the gussett." I hope this helps!
