It’s time to stay home and get cozy! Or it’s time to welcome family and friends into our homes. No matter what the activity, I always need to have an intuitive but engaging sock on my needles to keep me happy and calm. This 6 round repeat … and only 2 are patterned … give me enough plain knitting to enjoy the beautiful yarn and a little something to keep me going.

This pattern will always be FREE and is a gift from me to you to thank you for your love and support in 2022!! I have donated over $2500 to various charities in 2022 with proceeds from sock patterns that you have purchased from me and I can’t thank you enough for that love and friendship!

Thank you to Stephanie from The Creative Knitter for the yarn support!

The pattern looks great on lots of different types of yarn…Give it a try! Check out my tester’s project pages for inspiration.

The sock comes in 3 sizes and is knit from the top down with a garter edge heel flap and traditional gusset. I finished it with my version of a rounded toe.

There is a simple round with a little cable that can be done with a cable needle or check out the video tutorial in the pattern to see how I do it without a cable needle.

Huge thanks to my test knitters Leanne, Heather, Jenn, Vivian, Stephany, Nawaal and Mara for their feedback and their beautiful socks.
