Algorithmic Sock Pattern
My first pattern available for purchase is also my most useful.
The concept of the algorithmic sock is simple: it is an abstraction of every sock I have ever knitted. You calculate the gauge of your yarn, the size of your foot, plug these values into the formula, and knit the sock accordingly.
Here is a snapshot displaying the range of yarns I tested this pattern on:
After knitting a few of these socks, it becomes second nature. While the pattern produces a very plain sock, it can be tweaked to fit your stylistic preferences. The stockinette stitch can be replaced with a pattern of your choosing, provided it fits the number of stitches for your gauge of yarn. The cuff can be worked over the calf, provided that the proper increases are made. Even the heel can be modified!
I am making the pattern available through Ravelry for $3.00.
It is now available for free.
