This basic sock pattern was written for a beginner with basic knitting knowledge.

24sts over 10cm.
Size 1 - approx 17cm circ
Size 2 - approx 20cm circ

Row gauge and length don’t matter too much as it is adjustable.

I used 3 colours of woolganics 8 ply in the sample to show the different sections however you can use any 8 ply yarn in various colours.

Approx. 300-350m of 8-ply (DK) yarn. The best choice is usually with a composition of 75-85% wool/alpaca & 15-25% nylon/polyamide.
