Not-So-Vanilla Vanilla Socks
It’s no secret that Hanna Lisa adores knitting - and wearing - socks. The “Not-So-Vanilla Vanilla Socks” are the perfect canvas for showing off that gorgeous hand-dyed skein of yarn you’ve had in your stash forever, or for your first foray into all-natural sock yarns.
The pattern is graded to 5 sizes and comes with measuring instructions and a little calculation exercise to ensure the perfect, snug fit on your own foot. They’re knit toe-up with a Fleegle’s Heel - Hanna Lisa’s absolute favorite heel to fit a medium-to-high instep.

Finished foot circumference: 17 (18, 19, 20.25, 21.25) cm / 6.75 (7, 7.5, 8, 8.5)” - recommended to be worn with 15% negative ease at the ball of your foot.
Foot length is customizable; I recommend a foot length with about 10% of negative ease. Leg length is customizable.
