I write quilt patterns, not knitting patterns, so forgive me for giving you what I use to make these socks, and you can adjust it to what you need to duplicate it.

I knit these tube socks out of undyed 100% wool for my husband….He loves them, and always enjoys getting a new pair.
When his socks gets a hole I repair it with scraps of the same wool, weaving across the hole in two directions (I place a small glass in the sock to mend over).
Doing this makes his socks last a long time...but the best part is, when he finally wants to be done with an older pair, he can compost them...because they are completely natural!

Amount of Wool Required: 1½ skeins [4 oz. skeins, 2 ply, 210 yards]
Needles: 3¾ mm (5) [both long and short double pointed]
Marker (small ring or loop of thread)
Yarn Needle: For finishing the socks.

Tip: I use half of a cork to place over the point of my needles, between knitting, to keep the stitches on my needles.

Abbreviations used:
sts = Stitches; K = Knit; P = Purl

Gauge: 6 sts per inch

For each sock cast on 48 sts.

Sock Leg

Row 1:*K1, P1* across
Repeat this single ribbing for 6".

Sock Heel/Foot

Left Sock

Row 1: *K1, P1*, repeat 12 times, place a marker and then knit 24.
Row 2: Purl 24, *K1, P1*, repeat 12 times.

Right Sock

Row 1: Purl 24, place a marker and then *K1, P1*, repeat 12 times.
Row 2: *K1, P1*, repeat 12 times, knit 24.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your sock is 16" long total (6" leg + 10" heel/foot).

Toe

Row 1: *K1, slip 1, K1, pass slipped stitch over, knit until three stitches before the marker, K2 together, K1*, repeat, including K2 together, K1 three stitches before the end of the row.
Row 2: Purl across.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until there are 12 stitches on either side of the marker.
Purl the last row onto your shorter double pointed needles (12 sts on each needle).

Fold the sock in half with the toe stitches lining up.
[I place the smooth knitted side inside the sock]
Cut the wool off the ball, leaving about a yard long tail to stitch with, to finish your sock.

Thread the tail of wool into your yarn needle.
With the remaining stitches lined up, one needle on top of the other, stitch down into the first stitch on the bottom needle as if to knit, go up into the first stitch on top as if to purl. *Go back down to the first stitch on the bottom needle, going through it as if to knit and take this stitch off the needle. Move over to the next stitch, beside the stitch you just removed, and go up through it as if to purl, leaving it on the needle, and continuing up to the top needle, going through the first stitch as if to purl, then taking this stitch off the needle. Move over to the next stitch, beside the stich you just removed, and go down through it as if to knit, leaving it on the needle*.
Repeat from * to * until all the stitches are off the needles.

Stitch the side seams of the sock together with the remaining yarn, and weave the end into the sides.
