A Möbius Strip is a wonderful but simple paradox, where one can make a loop of paper with no backside. These REVERSIBLE Möbius socks are also simple and wonderful, and—like their namesake—have no backside!

Created specifically to show off a color gradient, the heel is worked using increases and decreases rather than short rows, and the crisscross stripes that wind around these socks make for an unusual design element with two very different looks. Wear them inside-out … or outside-in … or maybe even one of each! You’ll be left wondering which way is up (or, in this case, out).

Socks are worked from the top down and the pattern is fully charted.
