Jackie’s go-to basic sock pattern for gift giving! The sport or DK weight yarn works up quicker than fingering weight sock yarn, but still gives you a smooth fit that easily fits in your shoes. Ribbed for a snug fit and worked toe-up with a short row heel, these socks are a fun opportunity to play with color!

This pattern was written as part of Jackie’s Two at a Time Sock Virtual Workshop. This is a great technique for anyone who wants to speed up their sock knitting. Click the button below to learn more about our virtual workshop.
