This sock pattern was written for double pointed needles, although it can be used to knit with small circulars and magic loop. This pattern has instructions for three sizes:

• Small (56 sts)
• Medium (64 sts)
• Large (72 sts) sizes

This is a toe up sock pattern, worked in one piece, from the toe up to the cuff. Casting on requires using a two needle cast-on method. The toe of the socks is knitted first, before moving onto the foot, the gusset, the heel, then the leg and finally finishing on the cuff. A stretchy cast off is used to cast off the stitches of the cuff.

Instructions for this sock are in written format only.

The design for these socks was inspired by my Skoosh! Shawl. These socks are so easy to knit that you could say that they’re a pure skoosh! This translates as ‘something very easy’ for those not fluent in Scottish dialect.

I hope that this pattern will help knitters to understand how toe up socks with a traditional heel flap and gusset develop while using double pointed needles.
