This sock is knit from the cuff down and has a german short row heel. It is a very simple and beginner-friendly pattern with plenty of videos linked for all skills needed. The sock has instructions for EU shoe sizes 22-50. You can choose the size you’d like to knit based on shoe size but for the most accurate results, you should measure your foot instep and find the size that corresponds to it. The length of the sock is very customizable so getting the width of the sock is the most important part. For sizes that overlap, they have different recommended lengths for the leg and the foot but those are adjustable!

Yarn: For sizes (22-27), (28-34), (35-39), (40-44), (45-40) you’ll need approximately 160, 180, 200, 220, 240 m of DK weight 210m/100g yarn.

Yarn Suggestions: Rainbow Sock Wool 8-ply yarn by Hobbii or a similar yarn to meet gauge, I recommend looking at https://yarnsub.com/ to see what yarns match. I highly recommend getting a yarn that is a mix of wool and polyamide so it is breathable but also stretchy.
