Argyle-ish Sock

This deliciously textured sock to knit top-down in three sizes (S/M/L) will add a whimsical accent to any outfit. Paired with a skirt, trousers, or jeans, it grabs all the attention; show it off with hi-tops or high heels! Classic sock construction with a flap heel and grafted toe allows the knitter’s attention to focus on the entertaining twist stitch motif, but don’t be afraid to personalize the method for a custom fit or to suit your knitterly preferences. The carved texture has so much depth and definition that even the softest yarn will produce a substantial, structured sock that holds its shape.
