These socks feature a doubled-up sole in squishy garter stitch for a cushy footbed, and a two-step gusset for a snug heel. An outer sole is knit flat first, before a full sock is worked in the round while being seamlessly attached to the outer sole. >A worsted-weight version will be publishing Friday, 14 August 2026 and an ebook bundle with both versions on Friday, 21 August 2026. The pattern is fully written and includes construction notes, plus a recipe at the end with guided step-by-step equations for customizing fit for personal measurements and different gauges ( e.g., if you want to use a different weight of yarn or a different stitch pattern on instep and / or sole ). Numbers for different sizes in the pattern instructions are presented in table format ( versus the standard 0, 0, 0, (1, 1, 1) ) for ease of reading, and include blank spaces to write in your 'mathed' numbers from the recipe. Difficulty-wise, this pattern should be appropriate for most intermediate knitters familiar with sock construction. Techniques include provisional cast-ons, three-needle joins, picking up stitches, and basic short rows. **Gauge:** 29 stitches by 64 rows per 4 inches / 10 centimeters in garter stitch 32 stitches by 47 rows per 4 inches / 10 centimeters in stockinette stitch **Sizes:** Sizes are in half-inch intervals at the given gauge from 6 inches to 11 inches / 15 centimeters to 28 centimeters, and personalized sizing via the included recipe. Finished circumferences: 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11 inches / 15, 16.5, 18, 19, 20, 21.5, 23, 24, 25.5, 26.5, 28 centimeters **Yarn:** 330 - 770 yards / 300 - 700 meters total of fingering weight yarn - 200 - 450 yards / 180 - 410 meters in main color (MC) - 130 - 320 yards / 120 - 290 meters in contrast color (CC) My sample uses K+C Sock Star (75% Superwash Wool / 25% Polyamide; 437 yds / 3.5 oz) in Tutti Frutti Pop for the main color (full sock) and Cascade Heritage (75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon; 437 yds / 3.5 oz) in Fuschia for the contrast color (sole and cuff). **Needle and Notions:** - US Size 1 / 2.25 mm ( or size for correct gauge ), for flat and circular knitting. I recommend needles with sharp or semi-sharp points for ease in picking up stitches. - Crochet hook ( for crocheted provisional cast-on; optional if using other provisional cast-on technique ) - Smooth scrap yarn ( for provisional cast-on ) - Spare knitting needle ( for three-needle join ) - Stitch holder ( for 22 or more stitches ) - Stitch markers ( at least 3; I recommend at least 1 safety pin-style marker ) - Tape measure - Yarn needle **PDF Formatting:** The written pattern is black text on a white page, in size 11 sans serif font for the main pattern and size 10 sans serif font in the notes sections ( font is Noto Sans; similar in size to Arial and larger than Calibri or Times New Roman ), with no italics. Images have alt text. Pattern instruction numbers are in table format by size instead of lists, with black text in light gray boxes for the size headers and white boxes for the instruction numbers. Numbers are in size 14 sans serif font. Some short areas ( notions list, glossary, and a small handful of steps in the recipe ) are formatted in two columns. The pattern consists of the following: - Page 1: Pattern description and glossary of abbreviations - Page 2: Sizing and construction notes - Pages 3 - 9: Written pattern - Page 10: Appendix 1: Modifications for Fit - Pages 11 - 18: Appendix 2: Recipe Math--Personalizing Sizing Thank you to my pattern testers and all who gave me feedback in the editing stage for helping me polish this pattern before release!
