I started knitting a pair of Argyle socks for my son-in-law for Christmas, but I didn’t like the way they were looking so I frogged them and came up with these instead.

This pattern is written for knitting in the 2-circular needle method but can easily be converted to other methods.

The pattern is knit from the top down. It features a 1x1 twisted rib cuff, contrasting slip stitch heel flap, standard toe shaping, and stripes in the cuff and toe. The stitch pattern in the leg is called Twin Ribs and is easy to memorize.

The pattern is written for 2 sizes- ladies/mens medium, which is about a size 7-8 shoe (American). To adjust the width, do so by a factor of 4 sts.
