Pedestrian
Designed by Veronica Ory
There are a lot of basic or vanilla sock patterns out there. This is the one I use for myself. This pattern makes a top-down sock with a slipped stitch heel flap and a flat toe, worked on double pointed needles. You can knit the leg and top of the foot either in stockinette stitch or ribbing.
Sample Yarn and Colorway:
Our sample was knit in Miss Babs Hot Shot in the Fired Up colorway.
What You'll Need:
This pattern is given in several stitch counts: 56, 60, 64, 68, and 72 stitches for either fingering or sport weight yarn. Socks are pretty personal, so you’ll need to find the happy medium between your yarn, needles, gauge, and leg/foot size for the best fitting socks.
Pattern:
You’ll need 300-400 yards of sport or fingering weight yarn, double-pointed needles in a US 1 or 2 (or the right size for your gauge) and a tapestry needle to graft (kitchener stitch) the toe closed.
