Knitted Winter Socks for Men

Learn how to knit a pair of socks for that special man in your life to help him keep warm and cozy on long winter evenings. The socks are stretchy and fit perfectly. The yarn used was 2 skeins of the same yarn. You can also take one skein of a solid colored yarn such as black and one multi-colored yarn. The color choices are up to you.

Illustrated Craft Tutorial:

Knitting Tutorial - Knitting Socks Illustrated Craft Tutorial - How to Knit Socks

The illustrated knitting tutorial shows you the steps to knitting socks in another color. The measurements in the fat parenthesis are the amounts to be used for this pair of men’s socks.

The amounts for the measurements will be written in fat parenthesis for the men’s socks. If there is only one amount written, then the amount is meant for both pairs of socks.

The technique for knitting for socks is basically the same for any size you choose to knit. The amount of stitches to cast on and also the length of the foot will vary depending on which size you are knitting for. This particular pair of socks was knitted with sock yarn and the yarn was doubled throughout the whole knitting process.

Because of the amount of images used to create this tutorial, the tutorial is broken down into two parts. The first page covers the sock from the cuff to the heel and the second page covers the sock from the gusset to the toe.

 

 

 

Knitting Socks - Men's Socks 1
These socks were made in a man’s size 43/44 (European size), 10.5 (US size) or 10 (UK size). You need two 100 gram skeins to complete the socks. There will be yarn left over, but 2 skeins are needed because the yarn is doubled throughout so the socks are extra thick and warm for the winter.

Knitting Socks - Men's Socks 3
The socks are easy to make but experience with knitting with 5 needles is recommended to make this project. These socks were knitted in a ribbing (cuff) and stockinette (sock) stitches to keep the project simple.
