This is a work of love after many years of working out the best pattern, and the best way to remember a sock pattern.  My pattern describes the math to work out how to calculate the various numbers of stitches required during the sock knit up.  Based on a toe-up approach with a short row heel (my personal favourite as there are no gaps created by picking up stitches) this pattern is easy for use with double pointed needles, magic loop, or two circulars.  I hope it works as your new standard for all socks going forward.
