This is a men’s sock pattern. It is written for magic loop knitting and can be knit two at a time. It is a toe-up written and charted pattern, but could be easily adapted for top-down socks.

The textured diamond pattern adds a bit of interest for the sock knitter knitting larger and longer than usual socks! An added detail is a mock cable rib that travels up the side of the leg and doesn’t require a cable needle.

The name “Mr Rhombus” was suggested by my brother who is a maths teacher in the UK. These socks were designed for him.

This pattern has been Tech Edited by Knitsforklipskaap and test knitted by Diner and FirstFallen.
