If you’ve ever been put off by the idea of knitting socks, this
is the pattern to start with. Simple construction, clear
formatting, and instructions that walk you through every step —
including the heel, where most sock patterns lose you.

Worked from the cuff down with a classic heel flap and gusset,
finished with a scattered seed texture across the foot. A good
first pair, even if you’ve never knit socks before.

0-3 m — 8 cm (3.25”)

Sizes are colour-coded in two groups throughout the pattern for
easier reading.

It’s a good idea to buy a little extra yarn just in case.
