This pattern is an adaptable recipe for top-down or toe-up socks in a sampler of Guernsey/Gansey style stitch patterns and several fit options, including:

• Pre-teen fingering weight or Adult Men’s L double-strand fingering
• Teen fingering weight or Adult sport
• Adult M fingering weight
• Adult L fingering weight

This pattern assumes the knitter has some sock-making experience, though the pattern includes helpful links for a relative newbie.

The knitter may use their choice of heel and toe construction, with additional helpful links.

Stitches used are knit, purl, 3-stitch cables, and for toe-up, M1L and M1R. Most knitters will find it helpful to have a cable needle.
