Wassup Rufus is a top-down sock pattern designed to show off your self-striping yarns. With strategically placed chevrons and racing stripe-rows containing a unique German based stitch which adds extra depth to the pattern, Wassup Rufus will show off your stripes and look great in solids or pooling yarns, as well.

Designed to be an easily memorized and addictive pattern, but not boring.

This pattern is designed for an average adult woman’s foot, but sizing up or down can be obtained by changing needle size or by decreasing the number of stitches on each side of the chevrons.

The gauge listed is for stockinette stitch. Due to the bias nature of the chevrons in this pattern, the gauge tends to be a bit tighter in the pattern portion of the sock--requiring 72 stitches.
