A simple zig zag pattern make these socks interesting to knit while still plain enough for most men to happily wear. Although this sock pattern is sized specifically for men, the design is truly unisex and would work just as well for women. The sock pattern is worked from the top down and includes 5 sizes, to fit a foot circumference from 8-12”. For women’s sizing, go down one or two sizes and adjust the length to fit your foot.
