Cozy Up Socks, by Ann Budd, come in three sizes, small, medium, and large, to fit everyone in the family. The pattern includes instructions as well for socks in three different Stone Wool yarns, Corriedale, Cormo, and Romney + Merino. The simplicity of Ann’s design allows the individual characteristics of these yarns to take center stage, showcasing their natural, rustic beauty.

Knitters of all skill levels will enjoy the straightforward approach to their design. The socks start at the toe and are worked to the cuff, featuring tidy short-row toe and heel construction. Let a good yarn color inspire you, or embellish these basic socks in any number or ways: Try them with contrasting heel and toe colors, add stripes, knit-and-purl patterns, work in a simple Fair Isle pattern, substitute a ribbed cuff for Ann’s garter-stitch one—whatever you fancy.
