This is a basic sock in which you can work the leg section in K2, P2 ribbing as long as you like and then change to stockinette. This is a good beginner sock pattern in which I’ve tried to clearly lay out the sections as follows; Leg, Heel Flap, Heel Turn, Picking up stitches, Gusset, Foot, Toe Decreases and Kitchener Stitch Grafting.

I use the 64 stitch sock for a regular woman’s size and the 72 stitch sock for a regular man’s size.

NOTE- in heel flap section (For large size repeat rounds 3 & 4 one additional time for a total of 16 rows)

I use this as my beginner sock pattern to teach with.

I recommend Opal Sock yarn or other self striping yarn as I find it encourages new knitters and they feel the socks are more exciting.

Here’s a video where I demonstrate how to work the heel turn.
