My first foray into designing was making some custom fit socks for my dad. I only wrote up the pattern so that I could remember how to knit these socks so I could make many pairs for dear old dad, who has always supported my creative endeavors.

I unearthed this pattern from the depths of my computer as I was cleaning it out. I wrote this up years ago, before I understood sizing of patterns, so unfortunately there is only one size available.

This pattern is full of helpful notes that simplify the sock making process. These notes, combined with the basic sock construction, make this a good sock pattern for those new to sock knitting.

If you happen to be someone, love someone, or know someone with a Men’s size 11 foot, this may be a great sock pattern for you!

I used almost all 100 g of my sock yarn for these socks, but I did have enough wiggle room that I did not have to purchase an additional skein.

Pattern is written with DPNs in mind, as those are my preferred needles, but it should be adaptable to other needle configurations.

Please enjoy my first ever pattern! Don’t hesitate to comment and let me know what you think!
