Basic Knitted Sock Pattern

This is my go to basic sock which I don’t need instructions for and can just knit. This example is completed in West Yorkshire Spinners yarn in Bubblegum and the leftovers of some Stylecraft Head over Heels sock yarn.

Yarn and notions

Fingering or sock weight yarn 60 to 80 grams (I used 60 grams for a size 7)

Set of five 2.5mm double pointed needles

Tapestry needle, measuring tape, scissors, two stitch markers (optional but helpful)

If you decide to knit these on a small circular needle you will also need an additional three stitch markers to mark the stitch count for each needle

Sizes

Foot circumferences:

Small – 7.5 inches – 56 stitches

Medium – 8.5 inches – 64 stitches

Large – 9.5 inches – 72 stitches
