This pattern creates a sock that hugs the arch of the foot. There are many good sock patterns with this construction -- like Rebekkah Kerner’s Francie and Marlowe Crawford’s Basic Shaped Arch Sock -- but all of those use a cuff-down construction. The Arch-Villain Sock is a toe-up adaptation.

Free, but if you like it and want to thank me with a cup of coffee, I could always use the caffeine.
