Enjoy 25% off all of my patterns through June 19, 2023 with code bday to help celebrate my birthday!

This pattern includes instructions for both a toe-up (pg. 3-4) and top-down (pg. 4-5) fingering weight sock. The heel worked is a Shadow Wrap Heel. This sock is sized for the whole family, child through large adult. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep and leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot, leg and heel. (If you have larger calves and are knitting tall socks crew not shorties, go up a needle size for the cuff, noted below on both versions).

This pattern is meant to be a starting point for your knitting. You can knit this pattern all in one color (no CC), but you will need to adjust the yardage requirements. Feel free to make a shortie pair or taller socks, whatever you want. You can also add in a stitch pattern or ribbing, the possibilities are endless.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) = 48 (52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80) sts around.
