I wanted to use up some scrap yarn by making some socks for my daughter - something simple but not too boring.

I’ve written up a pattern for those socks.

This pattern is available in two version - long and short.

The long version has an extensive Skill section where I’ve gathered resources (mostly links to tutorials I’ve found helpful) for many techniques that I used in these socks. I’ve found these kinds of sections very useful in the past for learning new techniques.

Skills mentioned:

• Neat(er) Ribbing
• German Short Row Heel
• Heel Gap Closure Methods
• Decrease Tips (specifically neater SSKs)
• Kitchener Stitch
• Color Changes
• Weaving in Ends
• Blocking

The short version of this pattern has no Skill section or pictures and has been reformatted to be more printer friendly. The pattern directions (pages 3 & 4) will fit on one piece of paper if printed double-sided.
