Hesitant to knit socks because of such small gauge? You have found your sock patten because these are worked in DK weight yarn at 5.5 stitches per inch. What is faster than DK weight socks? Worsted weight! So I included a worsted weight version as well. Both are 5.5 stitches per inch but different row gauges (see below). Both patterns are included in this set for $4.95.

Both patterns in the stripe pattern, cuff down. A classic, fast to knit sock. The ribbing hugs your feet beautifully all the way down for an absolute perfect fit.

Instructions are included in the pattern to customize length.

Step-by-step instructions are included for anyone new to sock knitting. Diagrams, including Kitchener Stitch, are included as well.

If you are a seasoned sock knitter, there is a section for “Just the Facts Ma’am” with instructions that do not include the extra tips.
