Originally part of the Stolen Stitches Seasons Spring Club 2022. Yarn kits and companion video workshop are also available.

There are many different ways to create a sock, in this pattern I’ll give you the basics for creating a toe up sock with a short-row heel and toe.
To allow for more room across the instep a gusset has been added.
Socks are best work with some negative ease. Usually 0.5-1” / 1.5-2.5 cm works well.
