Every experienced sock knitter has their formula for their own perfect vanilla sock. This is how I knit socks for myself and my family and friends, I hope you enjoy.

Multiple sizes of needles and yarn weights are given, allowing for socks with almost any sock appropriate yarn you love and want to use
Choose your needle size and Stitch count based on gauge and yarn weight to achieve the proper fit.
Directions are given for Top Down knitting, but can just as easily be converted to toe up.
