When I bake I can never just make anything plain vanilla, I always have to add a little something to make it more interesting like spices or most often I’ll swap the vanilla for almond extract and thus was born my famous Christmas cookies!

I’m the same way with my knitting, I have a vanilla sock recipe but I never just leave it as is so here’s as close to a vanilla sock pattern as you’ll ever get from me!

This pattern is simple, quick to work up, and has a very easy to remember stitch pattern that gives a great look that would be perfect for anyone!

These have a classic top down, heel flap construction and was written with contrast cuff/toe but looks great with or without!
