Math Whiz Sock

These socks in four sizes have a cuff knitted in Pythagorean Pattern which extends down over the top of the foot. Comprised of a simple arrangement of knits and purls, the knit pattern yields a deep, cushy texture bursting with right-triangle goodness! They are easily converted to toe-up construction, as the knitting pattern is vertically reversible.
