These socks are knit using super bulky (size 6) yarn and are super quick to knit. They make a great Christmas or birthday gift.

These socks are knitted in the round and can either be made with 2 colors or 1. Adding a second color will add a level of challenge to the knitting process but they are still a beginner level knit.

I knit the socks using a 9mm (US 13) needle but if you want the socks to be denser you can use a size smaller needles (8mm).

This pattern is made for US shoe size 7-10 (women) but there is also a pattern for a men’s size version. You are also able to adjust the size of sock that you make.
To make the sock wider add 2-6 cast on stitches and add an extra short row (on both sides) to the heel. To make the sock longer add rows between the heel and toe.

The spots to change colors are marked with a (Color 1) or (Color 2) note. If you are making the socks using all one color then ignore the markers.
