These socks were inspired by the classic candle flame pattern. With the wide purl ribs, the socks are stretchy and stay up. With an even number of repeats, they make sense on the needles and are easy to memorize.

Both charts and written out instructions are provided.

Note on gauge - If you prefer a firmer sock fabric, use a heavier weight sock yarn such as Dream in Color Smooshy, or go down a needle size and knit the large.

Note on sizing - the large fits a women’s US 9-11 shoe size, and works for wide feet. If you have wide calves, don’t go down a needle size for the ribbing on the cuff.
