How do you knit a pair of socks with 2 size 10 (US) needles ?

When giving me an awnswer please note that:
It must be for (US) size 4 or 5 feet.
It must be done with 2 size 10 (US) needles
It must be beginer's level or intermediate's level.

The other 2 answerers are right that socks generally should be knit in the round--using DPNs or 1 or 2 circular needles. (I myself love magic loop, but 2 circs also works well).

However, there are some patterns for knitting socks on 2 straight needles--they do require you to sew the sock up, so there will be some seam. The best one I know is: http://www.lindascraftique.com/free/tnsocks.htm.

Size 10 needles are quite large for socks, and there are not many sock patterns written for this size. You will likely have to adapt any pattern you are using to take into account your large needles, and you also will want to use a very thick yarn. Generally socks are knit on smaller needles than a yarn calls for on the ball band because you want to create a dense fabric that will be comfortable and hard wearing. Converting your pattern will require you to do a swatch with your yarn and needles to calculate the stitches per inch, and then do some math on the pattern to adjust the number of stitches needed.

Sorry it's so complex....but if you really want to knit socks, you should look into getting some small needles and sock yarn. It really is great fun and a very addictive habit!
