Confession time: I love thick yarn on large needles. I am totally in love with the instant gratification of a quick project. They just fill me with knitterly glee! On Wednesday, I had one finished Rye Sock…..well now the set is done!
Pattern: Rye by Tin Can Knits
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Yellow (I ended up using 211 yards or 113 grams of worsted weight yarn. Less than one skein of Simply Soft!)
Needles: US 4 and 5 dpns
Size: Large
Mods: I didn’t knit all the toe decreases as written in the pattern. I left out a few to create more room for my toes. It came out kind of square but very comfy!
I may or may not have accidentally made one cuff longer than the other. It is only about 1/2 inch so I’m not going to worry about it! I also had marked improvement on my kitchener stitch! Look at the right sock (first attempt) and left sock (second attempt) pictured above, much improved!
And now that I have conquered this pattern I’m going to knit some different colors/versions in wool! This set was just a test using acrylic to see if I liked the fit.
Don’t forget to swing over to Knitting Sarah and follow #sockswithsarah on social media and Ravelry. There are some really cool things happening over there! At enrollment is open for this KAL, so join why don’t you??
Happy Knitting!

Love your socks and the cheerful yellow color.
Just what I need this winter
Very cute….I have never knit socks, thank I’ll give this a try. Is it a good first sock pattern?
It is! Worsted-ish yarn on us 3 and 5 needles so they go quickly. And the pattern is very well written with exact instructions and diagrams
Good job on the Kitchener stitch toes!
One is better than the other but such is life on a learning curve 🙂
Pretty socks – love the cheery color! I must confess that these days I do a 3-needle bind-off instead of Kitchnering the toes – quicker, easier and no one sees my socks but me, anyway 🙂
Slipper socks are the best!!
These are adorable. After I get finished with an ancient embroidery project, I’m going to have to use up some of my Simply Soft on these!
Lovely!
Pretty!
