This is my basic vanilla sock recipe that I go to when I want to knit a cuff-down sock in the round. It includes instructions for a 2x2 ribbing on the cuff, a slip stitch heel flap and gusset, and a wedge toe. Feel free to substitute your favorite cuff, heel, and toe, if you’d like!

The pattern is written for the magic loop method, however, it can be easily modified if you choose to use double-pointed needles or 9” circulars.

Note that the number of rounds on the cuff, leg, and foot are entirely personal preference and should be adjusted to your fit and liking.

Size Information:
Small (medium, large)
8-9” (9-10”, 10-11”)
Based on foot circumference, measurement taken around the ball of the foot.
