Westknits Simple Socks
This top-down sock pattern begins with a ribbed cuff and continues with simple stockinette stitch for the leg. The heel features a simple garter stitch heel flap. Use this pattern with your fingering weight sock yarn and customize the colors to create your own colorful socks. The leg and foot of the sock are easily customizable, so you can achieve the perfect fit.
