This top down sock was a delight to knit due to the yummy softness of Shibui’s newest yarn, Staccato. The cuff began with the optional rib cast on using the Long Tail/Purl Cast On (see Purl Cast On Video) and was followed by the simple dancing squares. Pattern debuted as Mystery Sock #24 in May 2010.

Toe up sock lovers will celebrate the twists zigzagging up their socks. Not a toe up sock knitter? No worries! This design is reversible and is just as much fun worked from the cuff down. Instructions for an easy short row heel are included.

This top down sock begins with a dainty picot cast on. The line of leaves down the outside of each cuff provides the opportunity to knit a sock specific to the left and right foot. The nubby rib just begs to be accompanied by a purled sole. This reverse stockinette allows the soft knit side to comfort your feet. Increase your skills with the purl decreases and reverse kitchener.
