Sock Monkey Work Socks
It’s free, but please note that this free pattern does not include complete heel instructions. You might choose a short row heel from another pattern or you can purchase my Sock Science Too pattern for complete short row heel information (that includes suggestions for high insteps and a checklist for stitch and row counts …and a Summer Sockies pattern and Mock Cable sock pattern). Alternative garter stitch short row heel patterns can likely be substituted.
These adorable socks are cast on at the cuff and include a ‘clean’ stripe plus a turning round in the ribbing. For the traditional sock monkey look, 3 colours of Briggs & Little ‘Tuffy“ are required, but there will be lots of red mix and ecru left over! (For the main colour, Granite, I used about 65% of the skein for my ladies’ small socks.)
Sizes are based on multiples of 4 sts. For sizes that are smaller than 36 sts, you may prefer a heel that uses 60-70% of the total sock sts.
