For a generic top-down traditionally-shaped sock (I've tried the toe-up
kind and don't like 'em :), try <http://www.hjsstudio.com/sock.html>
Yes, you need a gauge swatch, but that isn't the end of the world! This
pattern can be used with any size yarn/needle once you do your gauge
swatch. You do need measurements of the foot and ankle (also leg for
knee socks), but they're not hard to take.
With a tiny bit more experience, you can make a knee sock. For a
generic pattern that builds on the above to make a knee sock, see
<http://www.hjsstudio.com/kneesock.html>
There's something VERY satisfying about wearing knee socks that really
fit, especially in the winter while doing barn chores...that is, if we
*had* a winter this year. This January's temperatures have been warm
enough to feel like April throughout. And the lack of snow is a real
worry, especially after last summer's drought and heat.
