The first video of the Pick a Toe, Pick a Heel Sock Series!
Sizes: Women and Men, average widths, any shoe size
Needles: Size 2.5mm or 2.75mm (see note below)
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 stitches per inch if you’d like a slightly wider sock
Note on needles: this pattern is written for any style of needles you’d like to use – double-pointed needles, short circulars, magic loop, or flexible double-points (aka FlexiFlips). If you would like a slightly narrower sock, I recommend using a 2.5mm size. For a slightly wider sock, use 2.75mm.
