Who doesn’t know them? Grandma’s hand knitted socks kept my feet warm during my childhood. They kept them cosy in bed or on my way to school. Here I’ve written down her “original recipe” for you.
For prolonged product lifetime I added a doubled heel.

Knitting Pattern using german sizes:
34/35, (36/37), 38/39, (40/41), 42/43, (44/45), 46/47

You will need additionally (not included!):
Sock wool 4ply 100g
Set of double pointed needles 2,5
Crochet hook 2,5
Tapestry needle

The pattern comes with a design, that allows you to place it next to you on the table and you can comfortably read without having to put your work aside. If that means too much paper for you, you can of course downsize to format A5.
