This pattern is also available for free on my blog.

These simple and comfortable socks with reinforced heel will be great companion on forest walks & mushroom picking trips. Perfect for beginners - they’re worked cuff down with standard heel flap and gusset construction. The pattern contains linked video tutorials so it’s even easier to craft your first sock pair!

Sizes

1 (2, 3) corresponding to sock circumferences: 17.5 (20, 22.5) cm / approx. 7 (8, 9)“. Choose a size that is 1-2.5 cm (0.5 - 1”) smaller
than your foot circumference (measured before the toes). Foot length is adjustable - for good fit, knit a sock approx. 1 cm (0.5”) shorter than your actual foot length.
