These Aran socks are a perfect beginner project to improve your confidence with sock knitting. This straightforward pattern will help you create your very own cosy pair of socks to keep your feet warm through the winter!
In this pattern, the socks are knitted from the top down with a turned heel. We’ve used one colour of yarn for these socks, but you can easily use a second colour for the cuff, heel, and toe to create a fun contrast!

One size fits most adults. The Aran Sock is quite stretchy and can be worn as a slightly oversized slipper sock on smaller feet.

The length of the sock is based on a measurement of the length of the foot. If you’re making socks as a gift, you can estimate the foot length based on the shoe size.

The circumference can be adjusted by casting on 4 sts more or fewer for sizes outside the EU 36-43 range.
