This essential sock pattern is perfect for knitting up a quick gift for a friend or to scrap bust leftovers from other projects. You can let your imagination run wild when choosing yarn for this basic recipe. Choose contrasting yarn for heels and toes, hold two strands of fingering weight together for a marled look or even use handspun yarn! Socks can be knit toe-up or cuff-down, using a shadow wrap heel. With eight sizes to choose from, you can make a pair for everyone you find knit worthy!
