MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
This basic sock pattern is perfect for beginners learning how to knit their very first pair of socks. For more experienced knitters, it’s a great foundation for creating a bespoke pair – simply lengthen or shorten the leg or foot to suit your style.
The quantities recommended will comfortably make the sock shown in the photograph, with a little left over if you’d like to add some extra length. And with the amazing variety of variegated sock yarns available, this pattern offers an endless source of unique socks – no two pairs ever need to look the same!
CONSTRUCTION
Knitted on double pointed needles in the round in one piece from the cuff down.
TECHNIQUES USED
