This “recipe” is my preferred plain “vanilla” sock, knit in Stockinette stitch, where every stitch is knitted except where noted using the Magic Loop method and a technique called Fish Lips Kiss Heel. I often incorporate texture stitches from other patterns to add some interest.

You will need to purchase the Fish Lips Kiss Heel pattern or substitute another short-row heel.

Fit: Women’s Medium width. I typically knit to fit my size 9-9.5 women’s foot and a 6-inch cuff.
Gauge: Approximately 7-8 stitches per inch using sock/fingering weight yarn.
