Bold but simple pattern makes these socks stand out wearing boots or sandals. Easy to mix and match contrasting colour combinations to make this pattern even more exciting.

The “Modern Mod Socks” pattern features a simple cuff-down construction, making it an ideal choice for knitters of all skill levels.

The pattern starts with a standard ribbed cuff, providing a comfortable and secure fit around the leg. From there, the design goes into a simple and easy to remember colourwork pattern. Knitted in a stranded colorwork technique, the pattern allows you to play with different colors to achieve a retro-inspired aesthetic. This pattern uses the German short row technique for the heel. This method creates a smooth and seamless heel with minimal bulk, resulting in a more refined and tailored fit. The toe is completed using a comfortable and classic toe closure method, ensuring a snug and polished finish.

While the pattern provides specific instructions, there is still room for personalization. You can choose your favorite colors, play with different yarns, or even modify the motif to create a design that truly reflects your individual style.
