Choose one color of fingering weight sock yarn to knit these top-down socks. The cuff begins with twisted ribbing with a section of twisted ribbing flowing into the leg and top of the foot. An increase and decrease on each side of the twisted rib section forms diagonal flowing columns as the twisted ribbing spirals toward the foot. Choose a solid yarn for a bold pop of color or try a speckled yarn for some splashy Windschief Socks.

Finished Measurements

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7 (8.5, 10, 11.5, 13)″ / 18 (22, 25, 29, 33)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot.

The lengths of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot.
