This pattern is the March sock in my Westknits Year of Socks e-book. This pattern is available exclusively as part of the Westknits Year of Socks 2025 e-book. You will receive a new sock pattern update at the beginning of each month until all 12 socks are released by December 2025. The sock patterns will be available to purchase individually in 2026.

These top-down socks are filled with fun textures. The leg features a diagonal chevron rib that flow along the top of the leg into the top foot. The back of the leg features mirroring textured triangles flanked by twisted ribbing. Choose a solid or heathered sock yarn like Life in the Long Grass Earth to make the detailed stitches shine. The pattern includes five size circumferences with instructions to help modify the length of the leg and foot to achieve the perfect fit.
