Extra Thick Knitted Winter Socks

These socks were knitted with a fingering weight sock yarn that was doubled to make them extra thick. One of the colors was black and the other a black, grey and white mix. When both yarns are knitted together, you get really warm socks that are so comfortable to wear on cold winter evenings around the home.

For this project you will need:

- fingering weight sock yarn in two different colors (here the color black was combined with a black, grey and white mixed yarn)
  The yarn used is about 420 meters/100 g skein
- a set of 5 double pointed metric size 3.5, 3.75 or 4 knitting needles (depending on your knitting gauge)
  (US 4, 5 or 6, UK /, 9 or 8) that are 15 centimeters or 6 inches long
- ruler to measure length
- scissors
- large eye needle for sewing threads when finished

Experience with knitting socks is recommended to make this project. You can also change the colors as you please. These socks were knitted in basic knitted stitches to keep the project simple.

Knitting gauge: (measured using the stockinette stitch, 20 stitches and about 30 rows = 10 centimeters or approximately 4 inches.

Illustrated Craft Tutorial: Please follow the illustrated knitting tutorial below to create this pair of socks. The socks shown are another color than these 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. These socks are made in the size of European 36-37 which is about US size 7 or UK size 5. 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.   Illustrated Craft Tutorial - How to Knit Socks

The cuff was knitted with a simple ribbing stitch and the rest of the sock with a stockinette stitch.

These were made with a solid purple yarn mixed with a mixed purple color yarn. Together they harmonized nicely.
