I used baby weight yarn from my stash and #3 dpns (double pointed knitting needles.) I followed this tutorial here. I made loads of mistakes but they fit!
Most of my mistakes were due to not reading the tutorial carefully. When doing the gusset I didn't alternate knit rounds with the shaping rounds and I forgot to do it with one sock on the toe shaping. Grafting the toes was tricky but I got the hang if about halfway through the second sock.
A sneak peak of my progress on the Harry Potter Scarf:
Congrats on your socks!!! They look amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much for posting the sock tutorial link. I've been wanting to start knitting socks, but have been leary without knowing what everything should look like.
the socks look great! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go--they look terrific! I'm in the midst of my first knit sock right now and I'm really excited about finally learning how to do it. (Nervous about grafting the toes, though!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first pair of knitted socks. They look wonderful.
