If there’s anything more comforting than a pair of handknit socks, it might just be a pair of handknit socks made from thicker wool.

They’re everything you love about handmade socks, but more so. They’re squishier. Cosier. Warmer. And best of all (especially if you’re a first time sock maker) they knit up so much faster. They’re the closest thing to instant-sock-gratification you can get when you’re knitting them yourself.

The Simply Curious DK socks are the big sibling to the fingering-weight Simply Curious Socks. Just like that pattern, they were designed to make sock-knitting accessible even to brand new knitters.

If you’ve always longed to pull on your own lovingly handcrafted socks, or if you want to be able to whip up perfectly giftable pairs for the best people in your life, this is the perfect pattern to get you started. And if you’ve been knitting socks for ages and are looking for a reliable vanilla DK pattern that knits up quick and fits beautifully, this is it.

The simple pattern is highly detailed, with straightforward instructions and a round-by-round stitch count so you never get lost. It will show you how to construct every part of a sock, from top to bottom: a ribbed cuff, basic heel flap and gusset construction, and rounded toe. Because it’s such a plain, easy pattern, it will suit any DK weight yarn you like, from solids, tonals, and gentle speckles all the way to crazy variegated and self-striping skeins.
