Minimal Sockitecture

This is a great go-to pattern for ANY color-type of fingering weight yarn: stripes, self-patterning, variegated, speckled, solid, semi-sold, sparkles with tinsel, etc. Select a yarn that looks great, feels great and enjoy the stitching process!

These socks are designed to showcase the yarn and therefore, keep stitch textures (sockitecture) to a minimum. They feature classic ribbing, a shorter leg, flap and gusset heel shaping and a grafted toe. The leg and foot are in stockinette, so this pattern promises to quickly pick up a great rhythm and fly off the needles in no time.

Yarn

Select any fingering weight yarn that meets gauge. Consider one with nylon for durability and elasticity.
