Simple Striped Shorties
Simple Striped Shorties are basic vanilla socks that were designed to be used with self-striping fingering weight sock yarn.
These socks are knit in the round, top down, with a heel flap and gusset and modified wedge toe. This pattern is suitable for a beginner sock knitter, and it can easily be customized by knitters who already know other sock techniques and their preferred methods. The skills you will need to know are knitting and purling, working flat and in the round, picking up stitches from the sides of the heel flap, basic decreases, and Kitchener stitch to finish the toe.
The yarn used in the sample is no longer available. We have made substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below.
