LISTING IS FOR A KNITTING PATTERN, NOT A COMPLETED PRODUCT!

I adore knitting socks! I often have conversations with friends about busting the fear of knitting socks and why we’re so intimidated by this accessory. While they may seem complex and fiddly, anyone who can cast on, bind off, knit, and purl can knit socks easily! This is my favorite recipe for easy, well-fitted, and straightforward plain socks. They fly by and are the perfect easy accessory for portable, mindless knitting when you just need something to keep your hands busy.

CONSTRUCTION:
The Classic Simple Socks are knit top-down from the cuff and include an easy German short row heel and a grafted toe. They are truly seamless - and feel so good on the foot!

SIZING:
1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

for foot circumference at ball of foot: 6 (6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10) in or 15.25 (16.5, 17.75, 20.25, 22.75, 25.5) cm

(please note - this pattern accounts for one inch of negative ease for all sizes. Select your size based on your foot measurement, not the width of the sock desired.)

Contrast Color (CC): fingering weight sock yarn - 47 (61, 75, 96, 119, 144) yds or 43 (56, 69, 88, 109, 132) m

SUGGESTED YARN:
Sample A (one color, without cuff/heel/toe accent):

NEEDLES & NOTIONS:
