About This is an Easy Top Down Boot Sock Recipe
From cast on to toe shaping, there is a lot to learn while making a sock! Knit in the round using double pointed needles to learn all the steps to create a custom fitting sock. Learn where to measure your foot and how to measure your gauge. Notice how your needles help you keep track of where you are. The heel turns quickly so your sock is on your foot sooner. Let one sock lead to many! Some experience with circular knitting helpful.
