I made two pairs of basic socks to keep my hands busy. The purple ones I added to my gifting box, the second pair I forgot to take a photo of before giving them to someone (I can’t remember), but they used up the yarn left over from a previous project. https://micheleleigh.ca/2025-10-11-socks-for-e-j/

Notes: cast on 64 sts, worked 1×1 rib for 1 ¼” then knit stockinette stitch until leg is 6” long. Heel flap is garter edged eye of partridge as in Hermione’s Everyday Sock pattern. Knit foot until 7” ending after finishing sole stitches.

22 Basic 64 Stitch Sock

Notes: Used the heel flap pattern from Hermione’s Every Day Socks.

Amy is my youngest sons girlfriend, who also happens to be one of my daughters best friends, we LOVE her! I thought it was time to make her a pair of socks, she is a big crafter, she quilts and makes wonderful articles of clothing with reclaimed fabric, so these scrap yarn socks seemed like the perfect fit for her. She loves them!

Notes: First stripe is cast on plus 3. Then 5 stripes of each colour.

I followed the advice in the pattern to weave my ends in as I went, because there were so many of them! To do this, I wove in the tail of the yarn of the previous section on the first round, then the tail end of the yarn of the current section on the second round. I wanted to make it feel a bit less bulky. I also followed the advice to do a jogless join, I used this method – How to do the Jogless Jog — Knitting Squirrel 

15 stripes for leg.

Work 32 rows for heel flap to end with 18 sts after heel turn.

Pick up and knit 16 stitches plus one more in the gap for each side of gusset. Knit into the back loop for 2nd side of gusset.
