This or That Socks

Sock patterns are, for the most part, just recipes. Swap in that heel, switch out that toe, tweak

the cuff like this or that, and with a little practice you have your own go-to vanilla sock pattern

for top-down socks.

The pattern below has been my go-to vanilla sock pattern for years. I use a basic short row heel

with either a round toe or wedge toe depending on how I am feeling that pair. I have included 2

different ways to work the ribbing, the heels, and the toes, plus provided pros and cons to help

you choose and tips for newer sock knitters..
