Basic Cuff-Down Adult Socks

Basic Cuff-Down Adult Socks

Looking for a good beginner sock knitting pattern?
 
You’ve just found it!
 
The Basic Cuff-Down Adult Socks are a simple vanilla sock pattern that fits 6 sizes from Adult XS to XXL. It features a simple 1x1 ribbed cuff, stockinette body, heel flap, gusset, and wedge toe. Each section of the pattern also includes links to online tutorials that walk you through the how’s and why’s of creating the socks.
 
These tutorials (and this pattern) make up the free Beginner Cuff-Down Sock Knitting Class that was offered on YumiYarns.com in January 2021. With everything covered in the approximately 2 hours of free video lessons, even experienced sock knitters might find a new trick to add to their repertoire.

    The needle size listed is the needle size I regularly use, but I am a very loose knitter so you may need to go up 1-2 needle sizes to get a fabric that you like. Most knitters do well with US size 2 (2.75 mm) & if you are a tight or newer knitter you may want to try a US size 3 (3.25 mm). If you know your standard needle size for sock knitting, use that instead of what I have listed (the size that gives you gauge).

     

    Make sure that your begining of round marker is different from your other markers so you can tell the difference. Locking markers are recommended .
