My knitting friend Mary Ellen and I have been putting our heads (or maybe it’s our feet?) together. This is our tutorial pattern for top-down socks that fit! We’re so excited and hope you are, too! We do two things in this pattern:

• Show you how to make socks, and
• show you how to make sure that those socks fit.

Never made socks? No worries! We give you step-by-step information on exactly how to make them.

At each step of the way, we show you what that part is supposed to look like, and how the pieces fit together. If you’ve never quite understood how to make socks, this is your opportunity to learn without stress. (You can relax. It’s Really Clear.)

See all those colors of the socks in the main picture? That’s not just for fun (although the fun is certainly a terrific side effect). It’s to show you each part of the sock; at each of those parts, the pattern explains what to do.

Grab a skein of your favorite sock yarn, and make a pair of socks!
