Hey all.

Does anyone have or know of a simple sock pattern that meets the the following requirements:

1. Done with circular needle using magic loop
2. Simple pattern--no lace, something suitable for a guy
3. Is made for a plus size person with a high instep ---
(the "large" sock patterns I have been finding all end around 9" circumference"
---measurements of 10" instep circumference
11 inch ankle circ.
18 inch calf circ.

I have searched the net, ravelry, allfreeknit etc and have come up with a handful that meet one point, but not another--the most common issue being the patterns use dpn's , and I am not good enough yet to translate needle one, two and three directions to a single circular needle

Anyone know of a magical pattern that meets all three?

Thanks!
Ruth

Free pattern ... Lifestyle Toe Up Sock Pattern,
This pattern tells how to make a sock that fits, no matter what weight yarn, or size needle. Pattern available through Ravelry...or just Google name and find it in PDF format.
Another resource would be the Fish Lips Kiss Heel pattern which is $1.00 through Ravlery. It will give you info on how to make a template of the person's foot to knit your sock...also the easiest short row heel ever. It can be worked either toe up or cuff down. I would recommend both patterns for knitting easy, well fitting socks for anyone you care to knit for.
