This pattern was a bonus sock for Sock Madness 14 participants.

The ‘stache Socks are worked cuff-down with a cut-in afterthought heel added after you’ve finished the toe. The pattern includes a charted colorwork design as well as a textured stitch and contrast cuff, heels, and toes. The length of the leg and foot are adjustable to suit your size, and with three colors, it’s perfect for using up leftover yarn from your stash.

Gauge
8 sts and 12.5 rows = 1 inches (2.5 cm) in stockinette
8.5 sts and 10 rows = 1 inches (2.5 cm) in stranded colorwork

Needles
US 1 (2.25 mm) 32-inch (80 cm) long circular needle or DPNs, or size needed to get gauge

The designer used the same needle for the cuff, colorwork, and textured st pattern. Depending on your gauge, you may need to size up a needle for the colorwork portions of the sock.
