I designed this sock using the horseshoe pattern. The horseshoe goes all the way down the front of the foot, and down to the heel of the sock in the back. So the pattern runs up and down the middle of the sock. It is a very easy to knit 8 row pattern repeat. It is easy to memorize the pattern after just a couple of repeats. Worked from the top down on size 1 DPN using fingering weight yarn.
