One of my favorite patterns that I find myself knitting on repeat is the Peyton Socks knitted from the toe up to the ankle. Out on a whim, I decided to flip the construction and came up with a cuff down, mid-calf version. The 16-round pattern repeat is surprisingly easy to memorize, and a breeze to knit through. No wonder why I keep coming back to this pattern!
