Best Worsted Socks
This knit sock pattern uses worsted weight yarn and has four sizing options that accommodate most adult sized feet.
So why is this pattern the best sock for worsted weight yarn? Not only is this pattern quick to knit, it includes instructions for both top down and toe up construction, there is no grafting, there are no picked up stitches and the bottom of the foot has a light texture that feels yummy.
These socks have shadow wrapped short row heels and star toes.
