If you’ve knit my other sock patterns you’ll recognize this as my basic recipe, adjusted to DK weight yarn for you. Toe up, gusset and short row heel, simple straight forward directions. A classic, well fitting sock that you’ll knit over and over again.

I love knitting these DK socks when my hands need a break from fingering weight projects, or someone requests a pair of socks as a gift, because they fly off the needles. I tend to wear them most with winter boots, in bed on cold winter nights, and to keep my feet cozy on hard wood floors.

If you’re new to sock knitting I would highly recommend you start here, the thicker yarn/needles, and lower stitch counts will be easier to manage.

Dive into that stash of random DK skeins, and cast on.

Happy Knitting!
