This simple toe-up sock was designed for a beginning sock knitter who has knit one or two “vanilla” socks already and who is looking for something a bit more challenging. Knits and purls are the only stitches used to create textured diamonds in a pattern that is suitable for both men and women.

The pattern sizing is for a Mens’ Small/Ladies’ Medium and for Mens’ Medium/Ladies’ Large socks. Sizing up to a Mens’ large is achievable through using sportweight yarn, however slight adjustments to the sizing is required based on gauge obtained.

This pattern is suitable for use with solid or semi-solid yarns; highly variegated yarns will hide the pattern.
