I just love to knit socks. There is something about the small needles, the thin yarn, the going round and round using complicated stitchpatterns, lace motifs, colorwork charts and so on… But to be honest, after a long day of work, being a mom and just day tot day life I sometimes just want to sit and knit for a bit.
Then, at those times, I find it hard to follow any patterns what so ever, so I work on a pair of basic vanilla socks. And that is just what I want to share with you, my go to vanilla sock pattern.
