The pattern is easily adjusted to suit your foot size. This one is based off fitting into a size 7 shoe.

Once you have mastered a basic sock, the world of adding patterns opens up (if it gels with stitch count).

You’ll need about 120 metres of 8-ply yarn, consisting of one or more colours.
3 x 3.75 mm circular needles
a stitch marker (optional)

There is a bit of math to do at the beginning, but it is easy, and there is an example to follow.

Knitting socks can be very relaxing, and picked up in-between other things you are doing.

Enjoy : )
