Men’s Sock Knitting Patterns

, by . Leave a Comment

A reader recently commented on a very old post about men’s sock knitting patterns that several of the patterns weren’t available any more, so I decided it was time to provide you with a new batch of men’s sock knitting patterns.

Knitting socks for men is not any different from knitting socks for women, only men tend to have larger and longer feet. According to the Craft Yarn Council’s standards, a woman’s size 7-9.5 is the same as a men’s 6-8.5, with a foot circumference of 8 inches and a foot length of 9.25-10 inches. Women’s 10-12.5 corresponds to men’s 9-11.5, where the foot circumference is 9 inches and a length in the foot of 10.25 to 11 inches.

The Dad Joke Socks from the Black Squirrel are a great plain sock to knit for guys, or anyone else. They feature ribbing down the front of the sock for a snug fit and come in three sizes up to 9 inch foot diameter.

The stitch pattern is a little hard to see in the multicolored yarn used on the Husband’s Favorite socks from Twin Stitches Designs, but it’s a pretty simple knit and purl pattern that gives the sock some texture. This one is also available in three sizes and is a free pattern on Ravelry.

The Atlantis Twins sock pattern from Designs by Delz (available on Ravelry) uses a slip stitch pattern on a background of reverse stockinette, but the sock is worked inside out so you don’t have to purl the whole thing. It’s available in three sizes up to a 10 inch foot circumference.

The Colonel Mustard socks from Erin Black are another free pattern on Ravelry, which was designed to fit a man with shoe size 9-11. They have a pretty ribbed design on the front that makes them hold the leg well and allows for the pattern to fit a range of sizes.

If you want to add a cabled touch to your socks, try the Hibernal Socks from Summer Lee Design Co on Etsy. These socks range from 7 to 11 inches in foot circumference so they’re sure to fit just about anyone.

Or how about boot socks? This pattern from Darling Jadore on Etsy makes a classic stockinette boot sock worked in DK weight yarn and sized for a medium to large man’s foot.

Knitting Pattern – Adorable Teddy Bear Cardigan For Baby

As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting patterns to add to my collection. Recently, I came across Sirdar’s TEDDY BEAR CARDIGANS IN SNUGGLY SNOWFLAKE CHUNKY, design number 5404. This pattern caught my attention because of its adorable teddy bear motif pockets, and the fact that it comes in two different styles – a V-neck and shawl collar version.

The fluffy Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn that is used in this pattern adds an extra touch of warmth and coziness.

I have to admit, I haven’t had the chance to knit this pattern yet, but it’s definitely on my list of patterns to complete this year. The fact that it is classified as an easy level makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels and I’m excited to give it a try. The pattern includes detailed instructions and charts, making it easy for knitters to follow along and create a beautiful and functional piece.

I love the idea of the teddy bear pockets and I can imagine how adorable it would look on a baby. The fact that the pattern comes in two different styles gives me the flexibility to choose the one that best suits my needs or preferences.

I am excited to add this pattern to my list of projects to complete this year. I believe that this pattern is a great choice for knitters looking for a cute and cozy project that is easy to make. I can’t wait to start knitting and see the final product.
