Pattern overview

The elevation yoga socks are great for yoga, pilates, and other exercises. These toeless and heelless socks will keep your feet warm during your yoga practice, still allowing you to grip the mat or floor. They are also great to wear after a pedicure.

If you are intimidated by knitting socks, you can begin with this simple pattern. Since there is no heel and toe, it’s a quick and simple project for beginners.

These socks are worked top-down in the round on double-pointed needles. You can also use circular needles for the magic loop method.

The socks make a cute little gift for yoga lovers.

Measurements: To fit women’s medium. These socks are stretchy and will fit most adult women’s feet.

Gauge: 30 stitches x 42 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4″ ) in pattern after blocking.

  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Sock Blockers (optional)

ELEVATION YOGA SOCKS KNITTING PATTERN

You can Pin the pattern to your Pinterest board for later.

You can save the pattern to your Ravelry queue.

Cuff

Loosely cast on 63 stitches using the Long Tail Cast On method or the one you prefer.

TIP: Cast stitches onto 2 needles – this way the ribbing will be more elastic or go up a needle size.

Divide the stitches evenly between 3 needles (you will have 21 stitches on each needle). Be careful not to twist the stitches starting the first round.

Round 1: *P1, K2, P2, S1, P1*

Round 2: *P1, K2, P2, K1, P1*

Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until the piece measures approximately 12cm(4.7″) or your desired length.

TIP: When working the 1st row knit the first 2 stitches using 2 strands of yarn (yarn from the ball and the tail) to avoid a gap. Also, knit the last and the first stitch on a needle a little tighter than the rest of the stitches.

Heel

Work 32 stitches in pattern.

Loosely bind off 31 stitches in pattern (knit over knit stitches, purl over purl stitches):

Step 1: Work 2 sts, bring the first st over the second one.

Step 2: Work the next st, bring the first st over the second one.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have bound off 31 sts.

You will find a detailed tutorial on how to bind off knitting HERE.

Continue working in the established pattern until the piece measures approximately 24cm(9.4″) or your desired length.

Bind off all stitches in pattern.Elevation yoga socks knitting tutorial

Cut the yarn leaving approximately a 10 cm (4”) tail.

Finishing

Weave in all loose ends.

I always advise wet blocking the finished item, this process transforms the stitches, making them look smoother and neater.

Simply soak the knitted item in lukewarm water with some soak wash for 10-15 minutes. Lift it from the water and gently squeeze the excess water out. Next, lay it on a clean towel, and roll it up to remove moisture.

Pin the item to a blocking board or lay it on a clean and dry towel (make sure it doesn’t transfer color) and let it dry. Your knitting will look much better after this.

I hope you have enjoyed this sock knitting pattern, be sure to check out my other knitting patterns!

Thank you for stopping by,
Mirella.

    You’re welcome! Socks are probably my favorite thing to knit, and this pair is a super-fast project.
