Knitting socks

Sock charts and instructions for sock knitting

In the charts you can find the cast on stitches for each shoe size with each yarn count, but also how, for example, the heel stitches are divided or how long the foot should be.

It’s even faster with our sock calculator in our app addi2go – find it in the Appstore and on Google Play
