Criss Cross Socks Knitting Pattern will be your go-to sock, your travel project, and your favorite cast on. Its name was created for the cross-stitch design. This pattern was designed for any knitter, from beginner to advanced. It has a 2-round repeat pattern that is very easy to memorize. As always, with a shortie sock pattern, it makes a great stash busting project.

Classic. Elegant. Simplistic.

Have you seen my blog post on making a pair of shortie sock in 10 days or less?

This sock pattern is perfect for your 30 minutes of knitting every morning. It works up fast.

A Craft Yarn Council chart has been provided to help you determine the length of your sock based on your foot size. Most of my socks have one cast on for an average width foot (keep in mind socks stretch, so this is rarely a problem), some have more sizes depending on the sock.
