Pattern: £5 (+ VAT)

Hiking socks, bed socks, welly socks, taking the dog for a walk when it’s freezing cold socks, there are times when you just can’t beat a good thick sock. These toe-up socks are a plain design with a heel flap and gusset construction and knit in DK yarn. The heel is turned with German short rows.

This sock is essentially my free vanilla pattern, written at a different gauge. If you are comfortable using the worksheets or online calculators provided in that pattern to enable you to work in heavier yarn, then DO NOT buy this pattern, I don’t want you to be disappointed.
