Susan’s Sock is a toe up, wedge heel pattern designed for any cylinder size. While written for use with a Dean and Bean’s Sock Machine, it can be adapted to other circular sock machines as well. Fit can be adjusted using the pattern formula cheat sheet. A Crank Along video series is available on our YouTube channel.

The most common cylinder sizes used for socks are 54, 60, 64, or 72 needle.

This sock features a wedge heel and hung hem - the only finishing needed is weaving in ends.
