This sock was inspired by the rings found around the Gas Giants or Jovian Planets. The rings of the sock are made with a lateral braid in the CC. You can choose to knit a shortie sock or a full length sock. Video link in pattern for the lateral braid.

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be the back of foot/leg and heel. Sized from child to large adult these are perfect socks for the whole family.
