THE PATTERN

THE PATTERN

These top-down socks feature a fun modular construction. Begin with 2x2 ribbing for the Cuff, then knit a garter stitch rectangle flat for the front leg and top foot.

The back leg is then knitted in stockinette stitch with thin stripes, resulting in a staggered geometric striping pattern on the leg. The heel flap is knitted in garter stitch followed by the gusset and sole. The striped sections are knitted together for a seamless modular construction.

Combine one solid skein of sock yarn with a self-striping main color like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy to create these stripe-tastic color changing socks!
