Sock pattern?

[Adreeyen]

I need to find an easy sock pattern. I'm ready to try making a sock, but I need a pattern that I can actually understand. Something written down to my level of understanding. Can you help me?

For my first pair of socks I used the Lion Brand Magic Stripes yarn and used the free pattern that was supplied on the label. I found it to be very easy to understand after I wrapped my head around turning the heel (my dense brains fault not the pattern).

 

Here is the free pattern at the Lion site

I used this one and loved it. http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm

If you want to use a circular needle goto the main page and it offers different ways. She broke it down so that anyone can understand. I highly recommend it.

I agree with Karin....Silver's sock classes are excellent!

Another vote for Silver's sock class! That's how I learned to make my first sock.

I love handknitted socks, but thought I could never make any because I cannot knit with 4 needles, and cannot do grafting. Then I found a pattern for 2-needle socks on Knitting Pattern Central and it couldn't have been easier. I have already made 2 pairs, and am planning many more. Maybe 4-needle socks are sleeker and more elegant, but these were so quick to knit, and such a good fit, and so comfortable - I would recommend that pattern to anyone who is scared of 4 needles.

Yay! thanks! I get to try to make a sock this weekend. Silver's tutorial seems so un-complicated. I post pics if I ever think about it.

You may want to check out the Magic Loop technique for knitting socks. It uses one circular needle and goes from the toe up. I'm currently knitting socks using this technique and it's really great. I believe the pattern is in the Magic Loop booklet.
