A terrific cuff-down sock option for a man -- but it would also look wonderful for a woman, too. This pattern features a cable rib stitch that is easy to learn and contains a great deal of stretch; this makes it a little challenging to measure an exact gauge, but means that it will fit lots of different-sized feet.
