This pattern was designed to complement the “Socks From A Tube” class offered at Yarn Love in April and May 2018. If you’re already comfortable with afterthought heels, you probably don’t need this pattern.

These socks are great for knitting up a smaller skein of sock yarn (a 50g skein instead of a 100g skein) with a contrasting or coordinating color for the heel, toe, and cuff. There’s some minor math involved, but it’s not too much!

If you need a larger size than the pattern has, just add stitches to your cast on in multiples of 4 until the sock tube is big enough for your foot. If you need a smaller sock, reduce stitches by multiples of 4. Remember, you want slight negative ease for your socks!
