Beginner's sock

[snakeling]

I've got cotton yarn and needles and I'm ready to knit my first sock. Except that I'm kinda overwhelmed by the choice available, so could you recommend a good beginner's pattern?

I've only one circular needle, but on the other hand, I actually like double-pointed needles (actually I like them better :D).

No, I'm not allergic to wool, but it's so hot here that cotton is just more comfortable to knit. I'll have a look for cotton blended with something stretchy. I'll ask my local yarn shop :)

The yarn is fingering, I think. French yarn doesn't have weight level, so I go by recommended needle size to find out.

I'd prefer not to buy patterns, because there are a lot of nice free ones out there, and yarn is expensive enough ;) Plus apparently those aren't available as download, so getting hold of them would be a pain. But I'll keep it in mind if I can't find anything better. Thanks :)
