Syllabus Slipper Socks

**>A free version with ads is [available on my blog][1].** >This pattern includes a second PDF version that is formatted for knitters with low vision. It has black text, size 22 or larger text in a sans serif font, no italics, no columns, and fully-written directions. The chart is still included but is not needed to work the pattern. Many thanks to Gemma Thompson (gemmabelle here on Rav) and the Accessible Patterns group for their guidance in formatting patterns in a more accessible way. This sock knitting pattern is designed to help newer sock knitters become more comfortable with basic sock construction before tackling socks knit with fine yarn on small needles. A worsted-weight sock will make it easier to see each component of the sock, and fixing mistakes is easier with larger stitches. The simple lace and cables will help you get comfortable with adding detail to your socks, so it makes a great follow-up to [my basic worsted sock pattern][2]. **Sizes** 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Finished sock dimensions: 7” (18 cm), 8.25” (21 cm), 9.5” (24 cm), 10.75” (27.5 cm), 12.25” (31 cm) circumference (Note: most people like their socks snug, so choose a finished sock size that is slightly smaller than your actual foot) **Materials** Worsted weight yarn, 220 yds (201 m), 256 yds (234 m), 292 yds (267 m), 328 yds (300 m), 364 yds (333 m).
