These bold top-down socks were inspired by the Go Go Dynamo Shawl. Choose two colors of sock yarn and knit tiny bobbles and geometric slip stitches for the leg of the sock. The heel is knitted in garter stitch with wide stripes followed by bubbles and brioche textures for the foot. Go bold with high contrast solid yarns or go splashy with speckles and variegated color pops!

Sizes

Finished Measurements
6 (7.5, 9, 10.5, 12)″ / 15 (19, 23, 27, 30)cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7 (8.5, 10, 11.5, 13)″ / 18 (22, 25, 29, 33)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot
circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot.

The lengths of the cuff and foot are easily customizable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter foot.
