My Favorite Shortie

Introducing the "Shortie Socks" – a delightful Toe-Up Textured Stitch Pattern featuring a Short-Row Heel! This charming sock design is inspired by my beloved mother, affectionately nicknamed “Shortie.” As a special Mother's Day gift, I crafted this pair of socks just for her, and I hope your knitting journey with this pattern brings you as much joy as it has brought me. This cozy and stylish textured ankle sock is not only easy to knit, but it also boasts a memorable 4-row repeat that makes it perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

To ensure the best fit and comfort, I typically knit fairly tightly, using US #2 needles for all my sock projects. This pattern is thoughtfully written for both US #1 and US #2 needles, allowing you to choose the right size according to your gauge. Whether you prefer a snugger fit or a looser style, you can create the perfect pair of socks tailored just to your liking.

You’ll be pleased to know that it only requires about 50 grams of yarn to complete a pair of these adorable socks, which means you can knit up to two pairs from a single 100-gram skein! This makes the Shortie Socks an economical and fun addition to your knitting repertoire. Plus, the blend of texture and comfort ensures they'll be a staple in your sock collection.

This pattern is crafted with simplicity in mind, allowing even beginners to follow along easily. For those who prefer a straightforward approach, the written instructions provide clarity and are perfect for keeping your knitting enjoyable. So grab your yarn and needles, and immerse yourself in this lovely project that celebrates family and creativity. Enjoy knitting the Shortie Socks today!
