Dedicated to my sister, Michaela, for whom these socks were designed.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet…

Do you call this stitch pattern Broken Rib, or Garter Rib? When knitting in the round, they’re one and the same!

These broken rib (or garter rib, if you prefer) socks are knit toe up, with a heel flap and gusset. A link to a calculator for your gusset increases is included in the pattern.

Don’t worry about “getting gauge” with these socks -- you can use your preferred sock yarn+needle combination that gives you a fabric you like, measure your row gauge, and pop that into the calculator. Your stitch gauge does matter to an extent, but the broken rib pattern is relatively stretchy. If in doubt, send me a message and I can help with the math of finding your size.

There are three separate PDFs included in your purchase; one for each size. I find it much easier to work off a pattern that is specific to one stitch count. Of course, you can download all 3 patterns and knit this sock in every size if you so choose!

SIZING
Size small (56 stitches) will fit feet 6” to 8” in circumference
Size medium (64 stitches) will fit feet 7” to 9” in circumference
Size large (72 stitches) will fit feet 8” to 10” in circumference

MATERIALS
You will need (1) 100g skein of sock yarn
A 32” or longer circular needle for magic loop, size US 1 (2.25mm) or preferred sock needle size
A measuring tape or ruler for checking your row gauge
A tapestry needle for weaving in ends

The yardage required for this project depends on your gauge, shoe size, and the length you choose to knit the leg. For most feet, a single 100g skein of fingering weight sock yarn is more than enough.

The light blue socks (size small) took 70g of Knomad Stratus, which is approximately 306 yards.
The green socks (size medium) took 76g of Knomad Snowdrift, which is approximately 332 yards.
The darker blue socks (size medium) took 85g of Knomad Duo, which is approximately 340 yards.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns about the pattern. If you need additional sizing, let me know, and I would be happy to extend the pattern for you!
