These top-down socks feature a beautiful textured Daisy Stitch pattern. Choose a self-striping sock yarn like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy to accentuate this lovely stitch detail. Choose between five sizes as you begin with 2x2 ribbing followed by Daisy Stitches, a garter stitch heel flap and decreases to shape the gusset of the foot. You can easily customize the length of your socks by repeating the 4-row pattern repeat more times for a longer length or simply stop early for shorter socks. Once you experience this easy and fun-to-knit stitch, you can knit the Mingling Daisies Shawl or the Frolicking Field Shawl to create a coordinating Daisy Stitch sock + shawl combo!

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 8 (9, 10, 11, 12)″ / 20 (23, 25, 28, 30)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.
