A simple sock recipe you can customize to any size. It is as easy as making a tension swatch, finding your favourite sock fabric, and using those measurements to create the perfect pair of cozy socks in a stockinette, ribbed, or striped design!

Join Felicia Lo in the Circular Sock Machine: Foundations course. Learn your machine, sock structure, and knit three unique socks! This pattern is only available with a School of SweetGeorgia membership.

These socks are knit from the cuff down, starting with a hung hem. The heels and toes are worked using the “No Wrap Heel” method over 50% of the needles. If you prefer, work a deep heel by working the heel over 56% of the needles (e.g. 2 additional needles on each side). Note that I generally engage the heel spring throughout the sock. You may choose to use the heel spring only for heels or throughout the sock.

Use the measurements from your tension swatch to complete the calculations on the worksheet.

SweetGeorgia Yarns wants to ensure you have everything you need for your CSM knitting success, including a Circular Sock Machine: Foundations course at www.schoolofsweetgeorgia.com.
