Stay-at-home-socks

The pattern includes instructions in German and English!

Most of the socks I knit are for Andrew, my dearest friend and beloved partner. The challenge is to find something not too fancy – in colour and pattern – for him and not too boring for me, especially because these men-socks are so big.

Therefore, I started to work on my own ideas for men-socks. This is so much fun and quite exciting! At the same time this pattern is pretty simple and allows “mindless knitting” which is also important.

The socks shown in the pattern are:

shoe size 46, UK 11, US 12 I recommend sock yarn (fingering), yardage 459yards or 420m/100g, e.g. Lana Grossa Meilenweit, needle size 2,5 mm, US 1 ½ , gauge 30 sts/42 rows = 10x10 cm = 4x4 inches

You choose the length of the cuff ribbing, your favourite heel flap variation and your favourite toes or you follow my instructions through the entire sock from cast on over gusset heel to the toes.
