Intro and Materials

Want to knit socks but struggle to finish the second sock after you're made the first one? Do you ever make uneven socks? Then knitting two socks at the same time is the perfect thing for you! In this knitting tutorial I show you how I make two socks at the same time using the materials and pattern listed below. But, you can follow similar steps with any sock pattern. This particular pattern is a toe-up sock with a turkish cast on and an afterthought heel.

Needles:
To do the magic loop technique for 2 socks at the same time, you need one circular knitting needles with a long cord, at least 32". The size of your points depends on the pattern and your gauge. You can also do this technique using 2 circular needles but that is not covered in this tutorial. All my needles I would use for this project, including the ones in the actual video tutorial, are listed below.
