Ready, Set, Go Socks + A Course in Casting On

Ready, Set, Go Socks + A Course in Casting On

Knitters often ask me, "What's the best pattern for learning how to knit socks?". Originally, I didn't have a good answer. However, when I started teaching sock knitting, an opportunity presented itself to design a sock pattern that would be appropriate for both new sock knitters and knitters who want to add to their sock heel shaping repertoire. Whether you're ready to start your top-down sock knitting journey or want to experiment with different heel constructions, this pattern is for you.

Knit a simply-patterned, gender-neutral, pair of top down socks with three different heel shaping options. The flap and gusset heel is a good fit for adults with an average instep. The gusset heel is a good fit for adults with a higher instep. The short row heel is a good fit for adults with a lower instep.
