This sock uses a simple pattern that is reminiscent of rain running down a window. Texture is created using center double decreases and yarn overs. Some ribbing is incorporated into the design to give the sock stretch. This top down design uses a standard heel flap construction and ends with a simple rounded toe.

The sock looks best in a light to medium solid or semi-solid yarn with a good twist. The pattern will look good in a darker yarn, but the design will become more textural, since the flow of the stitches will not be easily seen.

I have tested the medium size sock. I have tested the transitions of the large size, but have not knit a complete sock. Please report any issues you may find with the pattern.
