For this pattern, I have selected the most beginner-friendly sock knitting techniques. Toe-up: This way it’s easy to have just the right amount of stitches without making a separate swatch. You can also easily optimize the amount of yarn you use. Magic loop method (you knit with two needles): With this method, you can avoid loose stitches between the needles. Afterthought heel: The heel is knitted in the round similarly as you would knit for instance the toe part of your sock.
