Disclaimer and fair warning. If you like definite plans without ambiguity, this sock pattern is not for you. These instructions provide a generic roadmap for a trip of your own making. The sock has a basic toe-up gusset and faux flap architecture. Several stitch patterns, including stockinette stripes, Estonian Long-stitches, garter stitch bands, and a 2color stranded Chevron motif, can be used in various combinations and frequency. Since the final look of the sock is the knitter’s choice, the design itself relies a lot on your sock knitting experience and comfort with experimentation.
