This pattern is for a shorty/ankle sock and is designed to take the beginner sock knitter to the next level. It also has a few surprises for the experienced knitter as well. With a combination cast on, 1x1 cables and a shadow wrap short row heel. This pattern is sure to be fun and engaging yet simple, easy to follow and contains lots to learn.

Three size options Small, (Medium, Large) 7 (8,9) inches 17 (20, 22) centimeters approximate circumference.

The sizes listed are based on the foot circumference and not the foot length. I recommend choosing a size that will allow for 1-2 inches of negative ease to get the best fit.
