I have finally got around to writing up the mens version of Shazzas Socks or for those of us with larger calves! I have only ever used Opal sock yarn for these but I am sure that other 4ply sock yarn will work just the same.

Note from designer Sept 2008: I have missed off a couple of instructions in the pattern, I have since ammended them in red lettering on the pattern on my blog.

Over the years I’ve tweaked this pattern but one of the main changes is the toe, I now prefer a rounded wedge toe:

Continue working the foot until 2 inches shorter than your desired finished length.

Work as per pattern until 44 sts remain, then work decreases in every round until 20 sts remain.
