These are some socks that I designed myself after taking the Knit Original Cuff Down Socks class on Craftsy (now Bluprint). I actually finished them last November, but I haven’t posted to the blog yet because I had this grand plan to write up a pattern for them. But I didn’t. Anyway, I must face the truth that I am probably never going to get around to that, so I’ll just go ahead and post now.
If you go to my project page on Ravelry, there is a picture of the chart I created and enough notes on the construction that you can probably figure it out if you want to recreate these – feel free to ask me questions if you get stuck. I’ve also seen some other socks on Ravelry using a similar (or maybe the same?) stitch pattern so you could try to hunt those instructions down as well. You can also look at the notes I took on my Cheerie-O’s socks, which are pretty much the same as these with a toe-up construction.
