Super-sized Worsted Weight Socks

I finally made some socks for my husband. (The picture of the little boy with the lamb is him!) Since his shoe size is 13, I knew I would have to play around with a pattern to customize the fit. I had some Lion Brand Wool-Ease my daughter gifted to me and so I began.

I used a sock pattern for men's socks using Wool-Ease on the Lion Brand website. The pattern called for stripes, which I omitted, and added an inch to the leg. I used bigger needles (size 8) to give me a roomier gauge. Since I used the 2 circular needle method, I was able to have him try the sock on while in progress to make sure the dimensions were correct. They are perfect for his Ugg clogs and Crocs and as slipper socks.

I'm now in the process of making some worsted weight flip-flop socks for him using this pattern as a start. (He is a year round flip-flop fan .) I've finished one sock and it worked! The other should be done in a couple of days. Check back to see them.
