I really like watching Bones. I think it’s a great show, and I love the cast. So I thought to myself, “what kind of knit socks would Bones wear?” It had to be something simple, elegant, and understated. Something that a man or a woman could wear.

A lattice pattern composed of right and left twists, this sophisticated sock pattern may suit both men and women. With a pattern repeat of only 10 stitches, this sock is easily sized up or down.

Although instructions are provided for a toe-up sock, the lattice pattern is reversible and can easily be switched to create a cuff-down version.

The pattern includes 2 sizes, with unstretched circumferences of 7.20″, 9.20″ (S, L). Additional modifications to knit a Medium size (8.20”) are available as well.

Instructions are charted and written out.

Pattern available as a free Ravelry download, or through my website!
