Printing and sticking the pieces together was fine, it seemed my printer shaved a few millimetres off the bottom of each sheet but I just eyeballed it. I then made a stupid error and forgot to add the bloomin' seam allowances! This pattern is super simple. Two pieces, you sew the heel shapes and then the top and bottom bits; that's it. Very satisfying as they are so quick.

They fit just like a glove and are very comfortable. The end product isn't a 'real' sock in that it has seams; I think if you wore these out of the house for the day you'd end up with the seams rubbing your feet. Having said that I really like them as 'house socks'. I get really cold toes and have made these out of the fluffiest fleece so putting my feet in to them for plodding around Chez Bobbins is just lovely!

I'd recommend this pattern, quick, easy and fun. Perfect for beginners.

I have a similar pattern and I find that the socks are comfortable as long as you stitch them with a sewing machine rather that a serger. I use a triple straight stitch (strength + stretch!) and have some that have lasted for years.

They look great - what a fun print. I sometimes make them using the flatlock stitch (no seam allowance needed, then), to make them completely flat. But actually I wear my socks (constructed w ordinary serger stitch) all day in my boots - over thinner socks - when I'm at the fabric store (meaning I stand and walk for 8 hours) this time of year. And no problems..

I also use a flat-lock stitch on my serger for socks and that really helps. I adore fleece socks in my hiking boots and Hunters...for dog-walking they're the best.

I have used the flatlock technique but found that it sometimes comes apart where you serge over the little heel seam.
