An easy beginner sock pattern.

(I wrote this for my beginner’s sock class.)

For ankle length socks one skein of Wool-Ease should be enough. Get two skeins if you want taller socks.

Note: The previous version was written specifically for 4 dpns. The new revision (11/2010) is written for 5 dpns. I have plans to expand the pattern to include detailed directions for the two circ method and the magic loop method, but currently it is only written with dpns in mind.

errata - First issue of pattern: There is an error in the toe decrease section - it should read “You should have 10 sts on needle 1, 20 sts on needle 2, and 10 sts on needle 3.” (Thanks SaraO!)

(revision 1 - 4/26/08) - incorporates the errata correction, and has a couple other corrections/clarifications.

(revision 2 - 11/2010) - new pattern template applied, portions re-written for clarity, changed the dpn instructions, and added some tips for customizing fit.
