I can guarantee you that 99.9999999% of the time, I have a vanilla sock on the needles. I’ve knit so many pairs that I could probably knit one in my sleep. But let’s not test that. Holding knitting needles while asleep probably isn’t a great idea. ;-)

A vanilla sock pattern is the perfect place for a beginner sock knitter to start. But it’s also a great solution for advanced sock knitters who want to add in a cable or lace that you’ve found in another pattern.

I prefer to knit my socks on what I’ve affectionately named Zoom Zoom Needles 9” (23cm) circular. I renamed them because you can just zoom zoom round in circles. I knit the toe using magic loop and the zoom zoom needles for the rest of the sock.

In this pattern, you’ll find both toe-up and cuff-down instructions for knitting a basic vanilla sock. So grab your french vanilla cappuccino, your needles, and your yarn so we can cast on! Happy Knitting!

These socks are knit using the magic loop method (although the purchaser could easily adapt it for two circulars or double points).

This pattern includes both toe-up and cuff down instructions.

Judy’s Magic Cast On and Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off are used in this pattern for the toe-up sock. German Twisted Cast-On and Kitchener stitch is used in this pattern for the cuff down sock.

The knitter needs to be comfortable with the following techniques: knit, purl, ktbl, k2tog, ssk, M1R, M1L, & W+T. Instructions for all these techniques are included in the pattern. In addition, a video tutorial for the shadow wrap technique of W+T for short rows has been recorded by the designer.

This pattern includes instructions in written form for 56 stitch, 64 stitch, and 72 stitch socks.
