This sock is worked using simple knit, purl, and twisted knit stitches. I think it makes a good “travel” sock, requiring minimal attention, except for section with instructions for resuming work in the round, Sock features include: toe-up construction; strong heel; rounded toe; twisted stitch, ribbed gusset; and customized sock foot length.
Difficulty: moderate, toe-up sock knitting experience helpful
Recommended yarn: solid or speckled yarn will show stitch pattern best; scrap yarn can be used for duplicate stitch embellishment
