Vanilla Socks Knitting Pattern
* SIZE: Available in EUR 36/37, EUR 38/39, and US Socks Size M, suitable for various foot sizes.
* NEEDLES: For this pattern, you will need 2.25 mm (US 1 / UK 13) circular needles with a long cable suitable for the Magic Loop method (80 cm/32” or longer) or a set of double-pointed needles in the same size. Additionally, you may wish to have 2.5 mm (US 1.5 / UK 12 or 13) circular needles or double-pointed needles for added versatility and comfort during your knitting project.
* YARN: This pattern requires 100% cotton yarn in a sport weight. Use 50 g (1.8 oz) of yarn, which gives you 160 m (174 yds). Each size will require 50 g for one pair of socks, so one skein will suffice for your project.
* GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 30 stitches x 42 rounds = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4" x 4" when using 2.5 mm (US 1.5 / UK 12 or 13) needles in stockinette stitch after blocking for a perfect fit.
This pattern guides you through creating cozy, stylish socks knitted from the top down, starting with the cuff and working through to the toes. The cuff and leg are crafted seamlessly in the round, ensuring a smooth and comfortable fit.
The heel is designed using a German short-row technique for a beautiful finish visible on both the right and wrong sides of the work. The foot and toe are also knitted in the round, providing a streamlined look. Finally, you'll complete your socks by sewing the toe together with the Kitchener stitch, giving them a professional touch.
