The Sporty Shorty Socks pattern is a simple sock pattern with a couple unique design elements to make a "sporty" style sock. The socks are knit top down, with a heel flap and gusset, and uses stripes and an arch support section to achieve the "sporty" style. These are knit using the soft, squishy Knitpicks Gloss fingering yarn, or any other fingering weight yarn you can achieve gauge with!

Sizes offered:
-measurement is the circumference around the ball of the foot

X-Small: ~7.5 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 8.5 inches
Small: ~8 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9/9.5 inches
Medium: ~8.5 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9.5/10 inches
Large: ~9.5 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 11/11.5 inches

*These measurements are based off of my sample piece, yours may vary slightly depending on gauge and tension. Please choose a size where the measurement of the circumference of the ball of your foot falls within the unstretched-stretched range. A rule of thumb that I have seen is that a sock should be made with about 10% negative ease (eg. my foot circumference is 8.5 inches, I would want a sock that has about 7.65 inch circumference), but you don't need to follow that exactly. The length of the socks is customizable based on your foot length so only base your size on the foot circumference.*

Needles required:
US2/2.75 mm 32+ inch circulars for magic loops method (you can also use 9 inch circulars or DPNs if you prefer, though pattern is written for magic loop method)
*may need other size needles to meet gauge

Gauge:
30 sts x 40 rows equals a 4x4 inch square/10x10 cm in stockinette after blocking
7.5 sts x 10 rows equals a 1x1 inch square/2.5x2.5 cm

Yarn required:
Any fingering weight yarn that you can get gauge with.
I used Knitpicks Gloss Fingering (220 yds per 50 g ball) in Harvest (cuffs, heel, toe and stripes, Colour A) and Pine (body of the sock, Colour B).

Yardage required:
X-Small: ~20 grams/88 yards of Colour A, ~28 grams/123 yards of Colour B
Small: ~22 grams/97 yards of Colour A, ~34 grams/150 yards of Colour B
Medium: ~25 grams/110 yards of Colour A, ~38 grams/167 yards of Colour B
Large: ~29 grams/128 yards of Colour A, ~43 grams/189 yards of Colour B
*Yardage is an approximation. I have included a fair bit of foot length for each size so this should accommodate all foot lengths. If you have extremely long feet, I would go with a little extra yardage just to be safe!*
