Retro Rib Socks
A variation of Barbara Walker’s Sailor’s Rib was used to create this easy and interesting gansey- style unisex sock with retro appeal.
Simple knit and purl stitches are outlined by twisted rib for a flattering vertical design. The top ribbing flows into the leg stitches, and heel gusset decreases continue the ribbed lines onto the foot.
This close-fitting sock fits a variety of feet. Designed for fingering weight sock yarns, it looks great in a variety of solid and semi-solid colors.
A version of this design originally was published in the Winter 2004 Interweave Knits magazine and in Favorite Socks: 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave book.
