Yarn: Fingering weight, approximately one 3.5 oz./100 g skein; actual yarn usage will depend on size made and length of foot
Needles: US 0/2.0 mm, or size needed to obtain gauge
Gauge: 36 stitches and 48 rounds = 4 in./10 cm in stockinette stitch in the round
Sizes: To fit foot circumference of 7 (8, 9) in./18 (20.5, 23) cm
Before I discovered knitting, my first true love was reading, and today my personal library battles my yarn stash for space. On these socks, a simple knit-and-purl pattern creates stylized motifs of open books, but enough of the knitting is stockinette in the round that you can probably read while you knit them.
These socks are knit from the cuff down, with a heel flap and gusset and wide toe that is finished with grafting. The knit/purl stitch pattern is both written and charted.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited.
