Nothing fancy

This pattern gives something a little more interesting than a simple ribbed sock- a step up for a new sock knitter, or to keep more experienced knitters interested, while still being the kind of project you can carry around in your bag for a bit of on the go knitting. The sock is worked from the top down with a slip stitch heel flap; the stitch pattern goes around the leg and down the top of the foot.

Pattern gives stitch counts for extra small (small, medium, large, extra large); approximately equivalent to 13 (16.5, 20, 23, 26.5) cm / 5 (6 ½, 7 ½, 9, 10 ½)” circumference at ball of foot. The ribbed pattern pulls the fabric in, giving a snug fit and making the sizing fairly flexible; if you are between sizes choose the larger size. Leg and foot lengths can be altered to suit.
