Gitter is the German word for ‘grid’ or ‘lattice’. This reverse stockinette stitch lattice design on a stockinette background is a simple 10 row, 10 stitch repeat that makes for a quick, fun knit. Gitter is knit from the top down with an Eye of Partridge heel and Kitchener stitched toe. The lattice design wraps around the leg of the sock and continues along the top of the foot, ending at the toe.

Sample shown is a medium width sock (8 1/2 inches/ 21 1/2 centimetres). Instructions are also provided for narrow (7 1/2 inch/ 19 centimetres) and wide (10 inch/ 25 centimetre) widths. Foot length is totally customizable.
