Nova Scotia Soxx - Free Knitting Pattern
A beginner-friendly toe-up sock pattern with step-by-step video support.
Fancy knitting your first pair of socks? The Nova Scotia Soxx by Tina Baumgartner are a brilliant place to start.
This free knitting pattern has been designed with beginners in mind. The socks are knitted toe-up, which makes fitting much easier because you can try them on as you go and adjust the length to suit your foot. The simple 2x2 rib gives a lovely snug fit, with plenty of stretch and comfort.
Knitted in 6-ply sock yarn, Nova Scotia Soxx work up more quickly than traditional 4-ply socks and make a warm, cosy pair you’ll be proud to wear or gift.
There is also a helpful step-by-step video from LANGYARNS to guide you through the project. The video is in German, but English subtitles are available, so you can follow along clearly.

Why We Love It
This is a great first sock pattern because the toe-up construction takes away some of the guesswork. You can check the fit while you knit, choose your ideal leg length, and build your confidence one step at a time.
It’s a lovely project for anyone who has wanted to try sock knitting but felt a bit unsure about where to begin.
