The His and Her socks showcase a charming texture inspired by a punch card pattern. It’s a classic go-to sock design that’s simple to remember and would look amazing in any variety of sock yarn colors.

The construction is cuffed using the magic loop technique, but it can also be knitted with double-pointed needles and toe-up. My favorite aspect is that instead of completing standard gusset decreases along the sides, they are done at the bottom of the heal turn to form a lovely diamond.

The pattern is beginner-friendly and comes in three adult sizes. It also offers clear thorough instructions, how-to links, and schematics.
