ShiftyRib1
With clean lines and comfy ribbing, these socks have just enough patterning to make them interesting to knit, but still blissfully effortless. They’re complicated enough for a solid colored yarn, but simple enough for a multi-colored hand-dyed yarn.

These socks are worked in the round from the cuff down to the heel in rib pattern with shifting rib detail. The heel flap is then worked flat and turned. Stitches are picked up on the selvedge edges of the heel flap. Work is rejoined in the round and the gusset decreased. The foot is worked even until it measures 4 inches (10cm) short of total foot length and then the same shifting rib detail is worked across the top of the foot before the wedge toe is decreased. Live stitches are then grafted together to close the toe using kitchener stitch.
