My Favorite DK Socks

Though there are lots of basic sock patterns available these days, Ive been perfecting my favorite socks for awhile and finally feel its ready to share with all of you sock knitters, new and experienced alike!

DK socks knit up in a jiffy, you can finish a pair in a weekend. They are extra squishy and more flexible with fit than fingering weight socks. Perfect for gifting or family sock sharing 🙂

Details for My Favorite DK Socks:

CONSTRUCTION

Cuff down – easiest to try on as you go

Square heel – best fit, in my opinion

Wedge Toe – modified to look and feel the best, in and out of shoes

Add contrast cuff, heel and/or toe as you wish.

Easily adapted to DPN or short circulars, if you prefer.
