About the Pattern
These socks are designed to be knit without much counting. That makes them a perfect project for a Netflix’s binge or a long car ride. The classic ribbed texture makes sure that the sock will stay close to the foot through a whole day of wear. They are worked from the toe up with a faux heel flap.

Two techniques used are Judy’s magic cast on and German short rows.

Needles
-1 set of long circular needles, the smaller the needle the better. For the socks in the photo a size 1 (2.25mm) and 80 cm long.

Yarn Used
- 2 50g skeins for women’s size 7 socks, you will need more if you are making bigger socks

Gauge
This pattern is designed to be done with any sock yarn. I suggest using yarn with a fairly high gauge as this makes exact measurement more flexible.
