This is a modern translation of a Victorian pattern originally published in 1879 (you can find the original here link text), and it’s FREE for your perusal.

Don’t let the term gentleman fool you. This sock is completely gender neutral and alterations can easily be made to fit a variety of sizes. If you’re a history-bounding enthusiast or, such as yours truly, simply enjoy browsing antique patterns to discover lost yet highly beneficial knitting techniques without pouring the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to find out what in the world is 1lb’s worth of Best Sunny wool and why suddenly does the pattern say you have a seam stitch … here you go. I’ve done all the bleeding, sweating, and crying for you. ;)

And, if you need additional help, I vlogged myself figuring out this pattern, so if you need some visuals assistance at specific steps, you can find that video here: link text
