Pattern
This pattern is for a simple basic woman’s sock pattern that is easy to knit in fingering weight yarn on one circular needle. It is specifically written in order to use the many self-striping sock yarns that are available today, but is also a wonderful pattern for solid colors and variegated yarns. The pattern is written for a woman’s size 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 foot with a circumference at the ball of the foot of 9 inches.
This pattern uses one circular needle (in two different sizes) to knit the majority of the sock, with two sections being knit with straight single-point needles. There are 5 short seams to sew by hand. I specifically wrote this pattern for the ease of knitting. Please read the entire pattern through for best results.

Materials Needed to complete the pattern: Size 1, 9 inch circular needle Size 3, 9 inch circular needle Size 3, 10 inch straight needle pair 1, 5-inch long stitch holder Fingering weight yarn, 3.25 ounces total (It’s always best to have a little extra of the same dye lot on hand) Nylon or monofilament sewing thread Darning needle, safety pin to mark beginnings and ends of sections if desired
Stitch knowledge required: Knit, purl, slip stitch for casting on, increasing knitwise, knit 2 together, binding off Circular needle knitting creates the stockinette stitch by knitting each round, while straight-needle knitting creates the stockinette stitch by knitting one row and then purling one row. Both stitch methods are used in this pattern. |
