BASIC Socken

Discover the ultimate comfort with our simple, thick socks, perfect for those cozy days spent at home on the couch or for keeping your feet warm in shoes and boots. These cozy socks truly shine when the cuff peeks out a bit from your footwear, adding a touch of style to practicality. As the name suggests, these socks are designed with a minimalist approach, allowing for a quick and easy knitting experience without unnecessary frills. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a beginner, the uncomplicated design makes them an ideal project. Designed on double-pointed needles size 4.0 mm (US 6/UK 8), this pattern guides you through crafting the socks from top to bottom seamlessly. Start your sock journey with the cuff, which is knitted in a 1/1 rib pattern for a snug fit. Transitioning to the shaft, you'll work in a 2/2 rib pattern that not only looks great but also adds stretch. The heel is crafted using a diagonal seam heel technique, featuring innovative shadow wraps for added comfort and structure. To complete your sock, finish with a classic wedge toe for the perfect fit. (Note: This pattern specifically details sizes 36/37, 38/39, 40/41, and 42/43. For other sizes, please refer to the detailed size chart on page 11 for additional information.)

YARN

For these cozy socks, we recommend using Lang Yarns “Touring,” which is composed of 75% Pure Wool and 25% Polyamide, offering an excellent blend of warmth and durability (100 m/50 g). You'll need:

• 100 g for sizes 28/29 to 34/35;
• 150 g for sizes 36/37 to 46/47.

NEEDLES

Use a set of double-pointed needles (dpns) in size 4.0 mm (US 6/UK 8), with a length of either 15 or 20 cm (6 or 8 inches). These needles are perfect for neatly crafting your socks while ensuring ease of handling your stitches.
