Sock seam question

#1

How do I get my next sock to not do this with the noticeable seam???

TIA

#2

This page has instructions for seaming both garter stitch and stockinette so that the seams don’t show. :thumbsup:

Did you knit your sock flat, rather than in the round?
Most socks are knit in the round on double pointed needles, 2 circular needles or the magic loop method, these methods are seamless :smiley:

I used dpn’s. 5 of them, boy that was easier than it initially looked. Thank goodness. :smiley:

I didn’t seam it though, I used dpn’s and it still turned out this way??? (It was my first sock btw.)

#6

the seam is caused by the little tiny gap between the needles. The trick is to give the yarn a tug on the first two stitches of each needle. That tightens the gap nicely. :wink:

Really? That is the only side that the seam is on, when I would switch from knit to purl. But if you say so then I will give that a try. Thanks.
