Based on the available reference, "sock stitch" refers to the technique used in knitting socks, particularly when working from the top down. The video referenced is titled "Easy Vanilla Sock Knitting Tutorial Step-by-Step" and shows how to knit a sock starting from the cuff and working down towards the toe, including the gusset (The Blue Mouse Knits - YouTube).
Here's a breakdown of what "sock stitch" implies in this context:
- Top-Down Construction: The sock is created starting at the cuff and working downwards.
- Cuff: The beginning of the sock, often using ribbing.
- Leg: The portion of the sock between the cuff and the heel.
- Heel: A reinforced section to provide durability. The reference mentions a gusset, which is often part of heel construction.
- Foot: The main part of the sock covering the foot.
- Toe: The end of the sock, often decreased to shape it.
The video aims to make the process of sock knitting easier to understand, even though it can initially seem complex (The Blue Mouse Knits - YouTube).
