So Comfy Socks
The So Comfy Socks pattern is for a basic, everyday pair of socks with a great fit.
Perfect if you want to knit something truly comfortable — for yourself or someone you love.
The kind of project you’ll want to knit more than once. Because comfort is always a good idea.
Pattern Details
The pattern is written for four different stitch counts to accommodate a range of sizes and preferences:
60, 66, 72, and 78 stitches (measured at the leg circumference).
You’ll find clear step-by-step instructions and links to seven video tutorials showing each stage of the knitting process — from the cast-on to the final grafting. All videos are short and focused, so you can knit with confidence even if it’s your first time making socks.
No fixed gauge is required — simply choose the stitch count that suits your yarn and knitting tension best. The pattern includes charts and color-coded instructions for easy navigation.
Available Formats
You’ll receive two PDF files:
so comfy socks screen – best for viewing on your device
so comfy socks print – ink-friendly with a white background, but all charts and graphics are just like in the screen version.
Foot Length
Adjustable — knit to your preferred size.
Gauge
Not fixed. The sample shown is worked with 40 stitches and 58 rounds = 10 cm in stockinette, in the round, using 2.0 mm needles (after blocking).
Needles
2.0/2.25 mm circular needles or size needed to achieve your preferred fabric.
You can use double-pointed needles if you prefer, but you’ll need to arrange the stitches yourself — the pattern doesn’t include instructions for DPNs.
Yarn
Any fingering weight sock yarn
(approx. 400–420 m / 100 g).
Difficulty
Beginner-friendly but not boring — ideal for learning sock construction or enjoying a mindful, rhythmic knit.
Techniques
Stretchy cast-on, working in the round, 2x1 and 5x1 ribbing, reinforced heel, gusset shaping, wedge toe, and Kitchener Stitch.
