fleece socks in all sizes and two different lengths

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very easy

If not, why?
--

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the fact that I can actually make socks for my family even though I don't knit. The pattern is very easy to sew together and the instructions are well written.

Fabric used
fleece

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I'm going to be widening the heel for DH. I'm not sure why the heel would be the exact same pattern piece for all adult sizes. That's easily enough adjusted though.

Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes

Any additional comments
I think this would work also with a knit fabric to make lighter weight socks. I plan to give it a try. Also, DH finds straight fleece to not be sufficient for him. He needs something with a good amount of cotton for absorbancy. I plan to make a pair of socks for him that are lined with cotton knit and see how that goes.
