I call this the Magic Vanilla Socks because I have yet to meet a person it does not fit. It is one size fits most women, making it a great first sock pattern. This pattern was taught to me by Aunt Pam who sat next to me on the sofa, each of us with a sock in hand working through my first heel turn. It was taught to her the same way by a Finnish friend, who in turn learned from her Mom the same way. I wish I could sit next to each of you on the sofa and continue this pattern, but at least I know that the pattern will live on and bring happiness to countless knitters.

This is knit on larger needles than most sock patterns call for making a larger gauge and drapier fabric. There are also notes on how I use this pattern to knit my socks using only one ball of Knit Picks Felici yarn.
