Sock Pattern

Here is a free pattern download (in PDF format) of a pair of socks I designed. They are called Shanghai Fans and are knit on 2.5 mm needles (US 1) with Fleece Artist 100% Washable Merino wool. These socks are knit from the top down with a fan pattern that is easy to memorize, with a picot edge. I used the Magic Loop Technique, but they can easily be adapted for DPNs.

Here are a couple of photos of the socks:
