Flat-knit socks are a great choice if you want to make something fast and easy. They are also a great gift idea for the holiday season. Flat knit socks are knit on two straight needles, and the back seam is sewn to create a tubular sock. Begin by knitting the top cuff and work your way down to the toe and heel gusset.
With right-handed knitting needles, cast on approximately six stitches and k. The stitch counts will be 6.5-7 cm. Make sure you mark the stitches evenly from both sides. Repeat these steps until the sock is finished. This method is called the heel decreasing row. This decreases the number of stitches on the heel of the sock.
Knitting flat knit socks on two straight needles is another common way to make them. In this method, the knitter knits a piece of fabric on each needle, then sews the seams on the end. Many knitting patterns recommend using the Kitchener stitch to sew the seams, but you can use any technique to complete your flat knit socks. You can even use a contrasting yarn for fun looks.
Flat knitting is a more complicated process than circular knitting, as you'll be working on two different sides of the material. The right side will face out, while the wrong side will face inward. This will create a unique look and feel for the finished product. You may use a knit or purl stitch on either side to produce a more complex pattern.
