This sock design is simple yet refined. The cuff takes inspiration from my favourite ring with its delicate braid, giving the piece a touch of elegance. When worn, the cuff feels almost like jewelry, adding a feminine and graceful detail to an everyday knit.

This sock pattern is written for multiple sizes based on foot circumference and length. Socks are meant to be worn with negative ease (they should stretch slightly to fit snugly), so the finished sock will be slightly smaller than the actual foot.

Note: The sample is knit in size S and shown on feet that usually wear size M. Due to the tighter gauge and the natural stretch of the fabric, size S provides a close but comfortable fit. If you prefer a less snug sock or have a high instep, consider going up a size or adjusting needle size.

Foot circumference

S - 18 cm/ 7 in
M - 20.5 cm/ 8 in
L - 23 cm/ 9 in
XL - 25.5 cm/ 10 in
