Footnote Socks are my take on an elevated basic. Whether you seek a sleek or slouchy look, these socks blend functionality with timeless style. They are worked almost entirely in the round from the top down, with only a small portion worked flat. The highlight is the heel construction, which creates an elegant yet practical shape without the need to pick up stitches. The 2x2 ribbing flows seamlessly through the sock, effortlessly integrating into the heel and toe shaping for a clean, refined finish.

These are one-size-fits-all all. The ribbing is very stretchy and can accommodate the circumference of both large and small calves. The length of the foot is customizable to you! I have also included a chart denoting standard foot sizes if you prefer a numerical guide

Any fingering-weight sock yarn works for this pattern. You need 70-100g based on how long you are making your sock (I am size 6.5W and used a total of 70g for one pair of socks). The yarns pictured are Ritual Dyes Maiden in Libra (pink) and Hematite (green)
