GreenEyedSusan, aka long term p/hop supporter Susan Bromiley, has donated this great men’s sock pattern to p/hop in memory of her Grandfather, Lyle.
Lyle socks are simple, versitile man socks knitted in a classic rib pattern to make a stretchy sock with a good fit. The pattern includes foot lengths for UK sizes 8-12 (Eur 42-47, US 9-13) so you can knit socks for all the men in your life.

Knitting from stash?
Yarn: 100g (3.6oz) fingering-weight sock yarn, approx 400m / 440yd
Needles: 2.5mm
Blue sample (UK 9, short cuff) used approx 85g.
Grey sample (UK 10, longer cuff) used 96g.
A long- cuffed sock in the larger sizes (UK 11 & 12) will require more than one 100g skein. To make a single skein suffice, either knit the short cuff or use a contrast colour for the toe & rib.
