Handknit socks, Women's Lg (US shoe sizes 10-12.5) or Men's Med (US shoe sizes 9-11.5)

These cozy socks are knit by hand using my own pattern. (Half-Diamond Rib Sock Pattern pdf is also available for sale if you'd like to knit your own.) This size measures about 9" around and about 10.5" from toe to heel, which makes them women's large (US shoe sizes 10-12.5) and men's medium (US shoe sizes 9-11.5).

I knit socks from various sock yarns, but all yarns are a blend of superwash merino wool and nylon. This makes them soft, warm, and machine-washable. Use LOW heat and delicate settings to minimize shrinking and pilling. For the very best results, hand-washing and air-drying are recommended. Personally, I usually machine wash my socks and lay them flat to dry, and only very rarely do I find that a pair shrinks or felts after repeated washings.

Notes about the photos: Socks are photographed on blue plastic sock blockers; blockers are not included in your purchase. I have made my best attempts to show all colors as true to life as possible, but colors may show up slightly differently on your screen.
