This sock pattern was written for double pointed needles and has instructions for three sizes:

• Small (56 sts)
• Medium (64 sts)
• Large (72 sts) sizes

This is a toe up sock pattern, worked in one piece, from the toe up to the cuff. Casting on requires using a two needle cast-on method. The toe of the socks is knitted first, before moving onto the foot, the gusset, the heel, then the leg and finally finishing on the cuff. A stretchy cast off is used to cast off the stitches of the cuff.

Instructions for this sock are in written format only.

The design for these socks was inspired by my Skoosh! Shawl. These socks are so easy to knit that you could say that they’re a pure skoosh! This translates as ‘something very easy’ for those not fluent in Scottish dialect.

For some time now, I have wanted to design sock patterns that would match my four free shawl patterns. The thought of knitting socks can be slightly daunting to some knitters, but this is a very straight forward sock pattern to follow. I think it’s important to understand the shape and construction of socks and sometimes patterns, charts and construction can leave new sock knitters feeling slightly confused.

I hope that this pattern will help knitters to understand how toe up socks with a traditional heel flap and gusset develop while using double pointed needles.
