Ludwik’s first made-for-him hand-knit socks. I love this colourway so much I may have to order another skein for myself.

Cast on 72-stitches, knit in 2x2 rib for 1.5 inches, then switch to Charade pattern.

Knit leg to six inches, ending on a plain row, and divide for heel. Knit 36 rows (18 purl ridges) in slip-stitch, turn heel.

Knit foot to 7.75 inches, ending on pattern row. Knit three rows plain, then set-up row. Decrease every-other row until 48 stitches remain; decrease every row until 28 stitches remain; plain row; graft toe.
