NOTE: Shop closed Fall 2008. Pattern is currently unavailable.

There are few patterns I actually want to knit more than once. This is my standard, worsted weight sock pattern, knit many times over the past 15 years. I often add different ribbing to the top, but the mistake rib is one of my favorites, resembling a ladder, hence the name.

Like all good basic sock patterns, this one can be made many lengths, in many weights of yarn, with very little fussing or “crunching of numbers.” So long as the leg stitches are divisible by 6, you can scale the sock up or down to your heart’s content. The pattern listed here is for worsted weight yarn.

And yes, those are my notes in the background, I had never written this pattern down and wanted to be sure I got it all in there :)
