One of my absolute favourites of all time is Sprouting. Such a nice fit, cables aren’t very stressful but are enough to not be boring, works with solid to moderately variegated yarns.

Another one I come back to, since I have a proclivity for neon-technocolour-short-dye-repeat yarns, is Crusoe. It seems to have the magical ability to tame even the most stubborn pooling and highlight all the pretty colours in a skein that has all the pretty colours, if you know what I mean.

I’ve been using ‘Custom Socks Knit to Fit Your Feet’ and adapting patterns to my own, or other peoples, measurements. It does mean getting an accurate swatch but I’ve been keeping notes with all the different yarns I use so I only have to do the swatch once per yarn
