The Jogger socks are 3/1 rib socks with a fun twist. The coloured stripes at the top mimic the ones on classic sport socks. You can go all the way, working these in white yarn or go bold and colourful. The thin stripes make this a perfect project to dive into your sock yarn stash and finally use those scraps you’ve been saving. The sock is worked from the toe up in stockinette stitch and there are two heel options: a gusset heel and heel flap and a German short row heel. After the heel, the leg is worked completely in 3/1 rib. The stripes are worked right before finishing it off with a short 1/1 rib cuff.
