This sock pattern is knitted cuff down with a strong heel and a wedge toe. If you like the fit of a top down heel flap and gusset sock this sock is constructed in a similar way except no picking up stitches is needed! This sock is completely customizable and the ribbing adds negative ease with lots of stretch to fit many different feet. The all over ribbed texture is also great for adding support to the foot for people with swelling feet or foot problems.

If you would like this pattern is a different size not listed here please message me and I will happily grade it for additional sizes.

The Gusset portion of this sock is charted only so you will need to read the chart corresponding to your size.

Sock sizes include 7”, 8”, 9”, 10” foot circumference.

Listed above is yarn suggestions for the pattern however any fingering weight sock yarn that achieves gauge will work for this pattern.

Materials:
2.75mm needles or size needed to obtain gauge
400 yards of sock weight yarn
Tapestry needle
Stitch Markers
Tape measure

400 yards is only suggested, most people making short socks will use 250 yards.

Huge thank you to my testers for helping me with this pattern and thank you Kalia for sending in pictures and allowing me to use them for the listing.
