All the Math

I am pleased to feature a new, FREE pattern written by Helena. This generic pattern for magic-loop, toe-up socks with a slip stitch heel is named because I have done all the math for you.

The pattern includes instructions for 5 different sock sizes on 3 different needle sizes. Pictured sock is Trekking XXL, color 135 in size Women’s M on 2.5mm needles (Addi turbo US size 1).

Note that millimeter measurements can correspond to different US sizes, so it is important to make sure your needles match the millimeter measurement.

Materials:

  • 100g sock-weight yarn
  • 1 circular needle, 32” or longer (40” is best), size 2mm, 2.5mm, or 3mm

Sizing:

  • 2mm needles: Sizes XS (S, M); Circumference 6.25 (7.25, 8.25); 8 sts per inch
  • 2.5mm needles: Sizes S (M, L); Circumference 7.25 (8.25, 9.25); 7.25 sts per inch
  • 3mm needles: Sizes M (L, XL); Circumference 8.25 (9.25, 10.25); 6.5 sts per inch
Note: for men’s socks, I recommend working size L (men’s M) or XL (men’s L).
