jununjun on Ravelry took the basic architecture of this sock pattern and creatively modified it to make an elegant, eye popping sock as shown in her photo (4th down on page). This sock pattern does not have instructions for stranded work. It is a basic, simple sock pattern.

This sock is worked using simple knit, purl, and twisted knit stitches. I think it makes a good “travel” sock, requiring minimal attention, except for section with instructions for resuming work in the round, Sock features include: toe-up construction; strong heel; rounded toe; twisted stitch, ribbed gusset; and customized sock foot length.

Difficulty: moderate, toe-up sock knitting experience helpful
Recommended yarn: solid or speckled yarn will show stitch pattern best; scrap yarn can be used for duplicate stitch embellishment
