Has anyone got a really straightforward pattern for socks. Recently returning to knitting after many years and I've been gifted some beautiful sock yarn which I don't want to waste/spoil.
Thanks in advance

There's a pattern out there called Vanilla Sock Pattern that's been used a lot and is straightforward. Or have a look at Rose City RollerThe former wondercollie1

I used a pattern from a blogger called Winwick Mum. I hadn't knitted for years but managed to follow the pattern fairly easily. https://www.winwickmum.co.uk/1

I was about to suggest Winwick Mum - I've been knitting socks so long I don't use patterns but I've heard so many people say that Winwick Mum's pattern is a really good on to start with...

I use the free Harris Socks pattern available on Ravelry.
It was the first one I used and found it so ‘friendly’.
I was able to use the four row pattern to help to make same length socks without having to count rows.
I now use the same pattern but use stocking stitch.
Hope that helps and good luck with what might become an addiction!😉1 -
Hello, @carly. There’s at least two sock patterns given in last year’s Fashion on the Ration challenge. Apologies but I can’t find the exact post - the search function is letting me down.carly said:Has anyone got a really straightforward pattern for socks.

If you google 'easiest socks ever' you'll find one by zoom mummy(?). No turning, no dpns. Just cast on, knit, decrease and increase and cast off. Worth a look.
