If you are looking for a sock knitting pattern that allows you to create seamless, uninterrupted stripes when using self-striping sock yarn, you have come to the right place.
Meet the No-Heel-Turn-Sock.
Please excuse the makeshift cardboard sock blockers in the images. (I still haven't invested in a pair of blockers...)
Yes, you heard that right, this sock knitting pattern does not require to work a heel-flap and there is no need to pick up stitches - probably one of the most off-putting aspects for beginner knitters wishing to venture into sock knitting.
The heel in this pattern is created simply by working increases, followed by an equal number of decreases.
This sounds incredibly simple and it is, believe me.
So, if you are able to knit on double-pointed needles in the round, you are confident to work k2tog and ssk decreases, and you have toyed with the idea of getting into sock knitting, this pattern will be a beginner-friendly entry into the wonderful world of top-down vanilla socks.
