Charm City Socks

Starting with a two-color cast on, these top-down socks feature corrugated ribbing, and a simple mosaic stitch. There are six rows in the repeat, and only one row uses anything beyond simple knits and purls and slipped sts to create the design. The sock has a reversed slip-stitch heel, with the mosaic pattern traveling down the instep. The sole is striped to allow easy continuation of the colors. As the foot is done in stranded knitting, be sure to maintain even and relaxed tension. The adventure ends with a short-row toe. One set of instructions is provided for both sizes, use the appropriate needle size as determined by a gauge swatch for your desired size.
