Basic Socks in Fine Yarn
PATTERN DETAILS
RELEASE DATE:
January 2005.
DESCRIPTION:
This classic albeit basic sock design is worked from the top of the cuff
down to the toe. The cuff is worked in a knit 1, purl 1 ribbing, the heel
is worked in heel stitch, and the foot is stockinette stitch with a wedge
toe.

Sizes include a child’s medium (for a child about 5-6 years old),
child’s large/woman’s small, woman’s medium, woman’s large, man’s small,
man’s medium, and man’s large. Sizes are shown for the child’s medium with
the others shown in parentheses. Foot length for each size is
approximately 7.25 (8.25, 9.25, 10, 10.25, 11, 11.5) inches or 18.5 (21,
23.5, 25.5, 26, 28, 29) cm.
SKILL REQUIRED:
Advanced beginner or intermediate – you need to know how to knit
circularly.
MATERIALS:
-
YARN:
-
Sock yarn in
a weight designed to knit at about 28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) -
that’s what the ball band should say, but I knit them at 32 stitches
per 4 inches (10 cm). The yarn can be 100% wool or a sock yarn with
about 70-80% wool and 20-30% nylon. When using 50 gram skeins (about
215 yards/197 meters per skein) you’ll need 2 skeins for any of the
women’s sizes, while you might be able to make the smallest size with
1 skein, and the larger men’s sizes may require 3 skeins.
-
Reinforcing
thread for heels and toes (optional, but should be used with yarns
that aren't part nylon).
-
NEEDLES: One
set of U.S. Size 2 (2.5 mm) double point needles (set of 4 or 5
needles) or size to achieve gauge. If you know how, you can use two
circular needles or one 40-inch (100-cm) circular needle of this same
size..
-
MISCELLANEOUS:
End-of-row marker, 2 safety pin-type stitch markers,
flexible stitch holder such as waste yarn (optional), darning needle.
