Basic Ankle Socks! Learn to Knit Socks

[Shandeh]

:bravo: Yea, your socks came out so cute. I love the Hot Tamale color. I finished mine to the cast off part. Just waiting for the video on how to finish them.

I decided to finish my socks with kitchener stitch after all, so I did not cast off the stitches.

If you have already cast them off, you can just seam them together, to close the toe.

I did not cast off yet. I have instructions for the kitchener stitch. I have never tried this one, but it looks interesting. You know me.... I have to try it.

I finished my sock! I also made some videos. I just need to upload them to YouTube. Wish me luck.

I love the Colour you picked too!! I do hope you make a second one. I will be very slow with mine.

Keep your fingers crossed! I think my videos loaded successfully to YouTube. Time will tell.

I am very pleased with the way the ankle socks came out. A couple of months ago, if you said I could knit socks... I would never have believed it. Not me I couldn't even knit. Now THANKS to you ..I can do it. Thanks so much Shandeh, for all your help and GREAT video's.

YOU DID IT!
Way to go!

Now, be sure to take extra special care of those precious handknit socks.
I always wash mine in cold water, then hang them up to dry.
Even though the Bernat Sox yarn says machine wash and dry, I still treat my socks special, since I worked so hard to knit them.

I will take your advise and make sure I handle them with care, if I even wear them. I might just put them in a frame and hang them. I am so excited. I can knit a pair of socks.

GREAT IDEA!
I wish I had my first socks framed. I made my first pair, using some very cheap baby yarn. I still wear them now, because they are so comfy. They are ankle socks, so I wear them around the house as slippers.

I love your 1st pair of socks. The turned out great and I love the color. You should frame them. I ordered the Bernat Sox yarn in the Hot Tamale and the Faded Denim. I also tried the 1st pair in a cheap sock yarn, I didn't want to ruin my good Bernat yarn. Now I can make a pair with my Bernat Yarn and know it will come out good.

I made a sock..... "a" sock. Not sure when my other foot will get a mate, but I
did make it thru the process with thanks to some really good youtube.com videos.
I did cry a little, but I used my sock to wipe those tears away...kept on plugging!!
