Yes, if you've knitted gloves you won't find sock patterns/knitting instructions difficult. I used to mainly knit sweaters and cardigans, as I also didn't have much use for socks as I prefer to walk barefoot myself and had enough socks from my mum. But my husband prefers to wear woolen, hand-knitted socks even in summer, and although my mother knits him a pair for every birthday he went trough store-bought ones in a speed I found shocking. Also, they weren't available in any but dull colours, but he prefers bright, so I started to knit socks for him. I also quickly realised he needs an adapted pattern as his calves are relatively wide, so regular-sized socks will slid down and he frays parts of the heels very quickly because they bunch a bit inside his shoes (I can't understand how that doesn't bother him, but he's autisitc and has some odd sensory habits, including not noticing things like that). I don't manage more than a pair or two a year, but by now he has enough that I can wait for a full laundry load until they need washing. *g*
