———————-
Four versions of the same pattern were available on the site:

This is not a period pattern as there is no evidence that socks were ever knit in worsted weight in the 19th century.

For notes on the differences among the versions, see Knitting the 1865 U.S. Sanitary Commission Sock.

This is a modern interpretation of the sock originally published in the United States Sanitary Commission Bulletin, Volume I, Number 31, February 1, 1865.

This is not the Soldier’s Sock pattern; the two patterns have different cast on numbers, although they make a similar sock.

These socks will take 1 1/2 skeins to knit. Instructions are given for knitting contrasting ribs, heels and toes.

Any worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn is suitable.
