This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

This pattern was originally written for a class on knitting socks with two circular needles. Many people have used it and love the socks. I have given it to many, many people and am now making it available here on Ravelry for free.

Any yarn manufactured for making socks will work. For durability, it is best if the yarn contains some nylon. It is great for self-striping, variegated and speckled yarns.

Two files are included. One is the instructions for the socks with some alternative ideas included, and the other is a supplement with information on how to change the sizes of the socks.

Not included in the pattern is the alternative to make “footie” or summer socks. You can easily use this pattern for these by working the cuff, then going directly to the heel flap.

Please enjoy the pattern. I’d love to see your socks!
