This sock was designed for my husband, an avid mountain biker, and is thus written for Men’s sizes Small, Medium and Large. Of course ladies can knit it too - just adjust the sizing accordingly!

The socks are knit from the cuff down using charted stitch patterns adapted from Lesley Stanfield’s New Knitting Stitch Library and Barbara Walkers’s A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, Vol 1. They are knit as a mirrored pair, with a simple textured zig-zag panel running up the front side of the sock and ribbing around the leg allowing for some stretch.

The pattern is suitable for beginning sock knitters who are familiar with sock construction.
