Adorable ankle socks with rolled edge cuffs and practical ribbing support around the foot. Perfect fit with Clogs or wearing at home.

This pattern is written for teaching a class, so the instructions are very easy to follow with step-by-step sections.

Additional informations

  • If you want to knit these socks with smaller yarn (gauge 7sts /1”), you can follow L size instruction to get S finished size. Sorry M and L sizes don’t work with this formula.
  • Ribbing section is knitted with MC and CC and carry the both yarns around. If you feel this is too much work, you can knit with all with CC.
