Don’t Forget Dad

This pattern offers a delightful and practical guide for knitting quick wool socks in men’s sizes ranging from small to large. Featuring the versatile and comfortable afterthought heel—my personal favorite—these socks are perfect for various occasions. Designed with thoughtful gifting in mind, they are excellent as hiking socks for outdoor adventures or simply to keep your feet toasty warm during chilly winter evenings at home. When I gift handmade socks, I always include a bottle of no-rinse wool wash, ensuring that the recipient can easily care for their beautiful new socks. With an estimated knitting time of about 16 hours, depending on the recipient's foot size, this pattern is accessible for knitters of all skill levels and is a wonderful project to undertake in your downtime. Whether you’re looking to create a special gift or enhance your own sock collection, these quick knit wool socks are sure to please!
