This pattern is part of the Sock Geometry Basic Sock Pattern Bundle

These simple tube socks, sized from baby all the way through adult extra large, are a super simple way to make socks for everyone you know. There is no heel shaping, instead utilizing the natural stretch of knit fabric to conform to the heel. Within this pattern, there is both a toe up and a cuff down version, and there is also a modification to make this into a ribbed tube sock.

SIZING
Sizing is based on foot circumference at the ball (the widest part) of your foot

  • Baby (4”)
  • Toddler (5”)
  • Child (6”)
  • Adult small (7”)
  • Adult medium (8”)
  • Adult large (9”)

You want your sock to have a snug fit. Choose a size that is approximately 1-1.5” smaller than your actual foot. If between sizes, choose the smaller size.
