Stitch Pattern: Single Rib st using the knit stitch. Any stitch pattern that has the following number of stitch repeats can be used as the main stitch pattern: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12. If your stitch pattern has more than one row, make sure you divide the number of total rows where the stitch pattern is to be placed (cuff, leg & ankle and instep of foot) by the number of rows in the stitch pattern to determine placement. Use a single stitch stitch pattern for the heel, turn heel, sole of foot, toe and turn toe. If you change the stitch pattern in any way (e.g., knit tbl (e-wrap) stitch instead of knit stitch), you will need to adjust for the gauge difference.

This pattern is presented in English as much as possible as opposed to a standard knitting pattern language and is meant for someone who is new to knitting from a pattern. Try knitting the first sock following this pattern and the second sock following the standard knitting pattern.
