New needles, new sock pattern! In this pattern and video tutorial, we run through the techniques used in toe-up socks using flexible double-pointed needles. These socks are sized for women and men, any shoe size, average foot width.
Sizes: Women and Men, average widths, any shoe size
Needles: Size 2.5mm or 2.75mm flexible double points. Using the larger needle size will give you a slightly wider sock.
Yarn: 100 grams of fingering weight yarn (also called sock yarn or 4ply yarn)
Additional Materials: tapestry needle for weaving ends, three ring stitch markers, clippie marker
Gauge: 8.5 stitches per inch, or fewer stitch per inch if you’d like a slightly wider sock
