This cuff-down sock has been designed in a symmetrical rib pattern. The simple rounds will result in a visually appealing and comfortable sock; a classic style perfect for both men and women. The simplicity of the ribbing also lends itself to a wide variety of dyed sock yarn: everything from solids and tonals, to speckles and variegated, to self striping.

I designed this sock to be an easy-to-knit variation on a basic ribbed sock. The ribbing in this pattern is symmetrical, so both the left and right sock will match perfectly. Depending on the size of the sock, the pattern is slightly different in order to accommodate the number of stitches cast on.

It is easy to adjust both the leg length and the foot length to obtain the perfect fit. I have also included options for a wider heel and/or a larger instep.
