Quick and easy to knit these sporty socks feature a garter stitch cuff with a tab in the back created using short rows, a small twisted rib detail, and a ribbed arch for a snug fit. The socks are intended to be worn with a lower profile but instructions are given in the pattern for a more typical fit.

Available in 3 sizes these socks can be customized by adding sts and length. Adding sts would require a little math to center the back tab but would not be difficult.

The socks require approximately 40-60 grams of fingering weight sock yarn and an additional 5-10 grams for contrast as desired. Using scraps and partial skeins these socks can be easily personalized with contrasting cuff, heel or toes and stripes as desired.The sample pair used 45 grams total and were knit in size medium for a US size 9

These socks would make great stocking stuffers or gifts.
