What wool do I need to knit socks?

Sock yarns come in three different strengths:

4-ply
6-ply
8-ply

The designation means that 4, 6 or 8 very thin threads have been spun into one yarn. Therefore, 8-ply sock wool is about twice as strong as the 4-ply version.

The regular sock yarns are usually 4-ply, but 6-ply yarns for thicker socks can also be found in many shops.

8-ply sock yarns are rarer to get. Because of their thickness, these are used more for house socks, as the socks are knitted very quickly but do not fit well in shoes.

8-ply sock yarns are rarer to get. Because of their thickness, these are used more for house socks, as the socks are knitted very quickly but do not fit well in shoes.

Attributes of the different sock-wool qualities:

4-ply

Sock yarns come in three different strengths.
4-ply is the standard yarn for socks. It is the thinnest sock yarn, which is why it is also knitted with fine needles (needle size 2.5 - 3.0 mm), so that the sock is tight.
Due to a higher number of stitches (see sock chart 4-ply) needed to knit your corresponding shoe size according to the sock chart, you will need a little longer than with a thicker yarn.
Advantage of 4-ply sock wool: The socks can be worn in all shoes because they are rather thin.
For a pair of socks you usually need about 100g of sock wool (up to size 46). This usually corresponds to one ball.

6-ply

Sock yarns come in three different strengths.
The 6-ply yarn is a medium weight for somewhat thicker socks. It can be knitted with needle size 3.0 - 4.0 mm.
Advantage: Due to its strength, fewer stitches are needed (see sock chart 6-ply) and knitting socks is a little faster - ideal for beginners.
For a pair of socks you usually need about 150g of sock wool (up to size 46). This usually corresponds to one ball.

8-ply

Sock yarns come in three different strengths.
The 8-ply yarn is the thickest quality and particularly suitable for home socks that are not worn in shoes. It can be knitted with a needle size of 4.0 - 5.0 mm.
Advantage: With the thick sock wool, even large socks can be knitted particularly quickly.
For a pair of socks you usually need 150g of sock wool (up to size 42) and approx. 200g (up to size 46). A ball usually contains 150g.

Knitting socks with the addiCraSyTrio

How it works:

Before you start working your socks, first decide whether you want to knit your socks classic from the cuff to the toe (top-down), or “toe-up” from the toe to the cuff. In this guide we will go into the classic method.

The tutorial for toe-up socks from the toe to the cuff is available here.

In order to choose the right number of stitches for your wool and your shoe size in the first step, you can use our sock calculator in the addi2go App or the sock chart in these instructions. The chart can also be downloaded here.

Knitting cuff and leg

Cast on the required number of "stitches"pull out a needle so that half of the stitches are on one needle on each side. Watch the video tutorial here.
Then fold your 2 needles, the needle with the attached working yarn faces away from the body. The stitches of the resting needle should always be as centred as possible on the needle/cord. The tip of the resting needle should be above the tip of the working needle.
Now you are working in rounds, using the 3rd needle to knit the stitches. Knit cuff and leg in your desired pattern until your desired length.

Cast on the total number of stitches onto both needles, remove one needle in a way half of the stitches is on every needle.

Now simply fold the needles together so that the needle with the working thread is at the back, i.e. on the side facing away from the body. The stitches of the resting needle should always be as central as possible on the needle/rope. The tip of the resting needle should be above the tip of the working needle.

Now you can work in rounds by knitting off the stitches with the third needle. Knit the cuff and the shank in the desired pattern and length.
