Black Cat Favourite Socks pattern is the result of many years of knitting socks and honing my preferred techniques along with finding the best fit.
They are worked toe-up using a short row heel with added shaping to accommodate the instep.
They come in 5 adult sizes, with tips on how to modify to fit your foot.

This is the sock pattern I have memorized and knit over and over again, and I hope you love it too!

Sizing:
This pattern comes in 5 adult sizes, to fit a foot circumference of 8.5 (9, 9.5, 10, 10.5) inches / 21.5 (23, 24, 25.5, 26.5) centimetres

Pattern includes a chart for size measurements and recommend ease, as well as notes on how to custumize the fit to suit your exact measurements.

Needles:
2.5 mm/US Size 1.5 needles

Or needle sizes to obtain gauge

Notions:
Tapestry needle (for finishing)
Stitch Markers- removable

Yarn:
Any sock yarn can work. I recommend finding a blend of wool and nylon for durability or another yarn intended for sock knitting, and a weight of approx. 366-400 metres per 100 gram skein.

Approximate amounts required: 200-340 metres / 218-371 yards in total

Recommended yarns listed in the Ravelry page are some of the sock yarns I’ve personally used to make these socks before. I have also knit a couple of pairs using my own handpsun yarn.
