Easy sock pattern

[Skyrimir]

I'm trying to grow out of just knitting scarves, I'd like to try a pair of socks.

Does anyone know of any sock patterns that would be easy for a beginner to do?

This thread (http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/forum/viewtopic.php?p=352945&highlight=beginner+sock#352945) lists several sites with great first sock patterns.

This pattern (http://www.patonsyarns.com/data/pattern/pdf/instruction_1017.pdf) is also a great first sock pattern.
