My First Socks pattern

“Becoming a sock knitter helps when you have a good pattern as a basis. This pattern not only teaches how to make a basic sock, but analyses fit from the top down and discusses simple ways to "make a sock your own." Perfect for classes, included are a diagram labeling the parts of a sock and a list of sock lengths according to shoe size.“ ~Joan
