Another boy sock? Not really, everybody could wear this textured sock! And everybody can knit this sock. All you need to know are knit and purl stitches for the motif, increase stitches for the toe and the heel and decrease stitches for the heel. I added links where you can get explications about the special techniques as the cast on, magic loop and bind off.

I like geometric motifs on socks and this pattern has a lot of them. Both are knitted at the same way, toe-up with 62 sts and a gusset to give more ease at the ankle. Try to cast on both socks at the same time on the same circular needle!

I really enjoy wearing socks with motifs which start on the toe, so I can wear them in all my shoes without been bored about a little bit of stockinette stitch looking out. You don’t like it, no problems, follow the instructions and knit a plain toe.
