Top Down Basic Sock

This is the basic sock pattern for all my socks. I have used this pattern for years without thinking about it, but put it on paper when I started teaching socks for classes. The socks are sized for women's small, medium, and large. The large will fit a man's medium. I use either a size 1 or 1 1/2 needles. Actually whatever ones I pick up, is what I start knitting with.
