Socks that fit the people you make them for

Every pair of handmade socks should fit the person they were made for. Sock Studio turns real foot measurements, your knitting gauge, and your design choices into a complete cuff-to-toe pattern with exact stitch and row counts — instead of a generic size chart and a lot of arithmetic.

  • Measure or estimate

    Enter foot measurements — or estimate them from a shoe size when the person isn't nearby.

  • Your yarn, your gauge

    Add yarn details and swatch gauge in stitches and rows. Save your favourites for next time.

  • Choose the construction

    Square (Dutch) or Round (French) heels; Round-8 or Star-4 toes; cuff and leg length to taste.

  • Step-by-step instructions

    Clear, numbered sections from cuff to toe, with a knitting abbreviations legend.

  • Track your progress

    Checkmarks per step and a built-in row counter, so you can put the sock down and find your place.

  • Export as PDF

    Any pattern or project can be exported as a shareable PDF and printed or sent on.
