Slow Days Socks Knitting Pattern – Stretchy, Snug, and Soothing to Knit

Sometimes, you need to knit socks without knowing the exact measurements of the person who will wear them. In these cases, 2x2 ribbing is your best friend—it offers excellent stretch and a snug fit across various foot sizes and shapes.

Materials

Yarn: Fingering weight sock yarn (~400 m / 100 g). 

Light speckled or gradient yarns work especially well with this pattern.

I used Ursa Major Mirror Line from Apmezga for the blue pair and Mille Colori from Lang Yarns for the striped version. Katia Symmetric Socks & More – Degradé would also be a great choice.

Needles: 2.25 mm (US 1) long circular needles for Magic Loop, or double-pointed needles (DPNs)

Notions: Scissors, tapestry needle, measuring tape, stitch markers

Sizes

This pattern is written for three sizes, based on stitch count:

• 60 stitches
• 64 stitches
• 68 stitches
