#6. My Favorite Vanilla Socks Free Knitting Pattern

Here’s what designer, Meaghan Schmaltz has to say about this project. “When I started out fiendishly knitting socks I hated the gusset heel. All I wanted to knit was a short row heel sock from the toe up. Having learned a gusset heel, and found one I love love love, I almost exclusively knit cuff-down socks with a gusset heel. They are my favorite TV time knitting… even when watching The Walking Dead (though nothing interrupts Game of Thrones). So here they are, My Favorite Vanilla Socks. Period.”

Uses fingering weight yarn
