Choose two colors of fingering weight sock yarn to knit these top-down brioche socks. 1x1 ribbing in the cuff flows into squishy brioche and garter stitch for the leg. An increase and decrease on either side of the brioche section forms a skewed diagonal accent that continues into the top of the foot. The bottom of the foot is knit in smooth stockinette stitch for a comfortable sole. Select your size from the five foot circumference sizes and customize the leg and foot length to knit your own cozy Askews Me Socks.

Sizes:
1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

Finished Measurements:
6 (7.5, 9, 10.5, 12)″ / 15 (19, 23, 27, 31)cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7 (8.5, 10, 11.5, 12)″ / 18 (22, 25, 29, 33)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm or 1.5″ / 4cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot. The lengths of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot.
