Worked in the round, this pattern provides both cuff-down and toe-up instructions for a seamless DK weight sock, accompanied by charts for pattern motif. While the pattern comes with instructions for a heel flap and gusset, it’s adaptable to your personal preferences and unique feet. Links for alternative heels have been included!

With multiple sizes, you can easily achieve the perfect fit with the intended negative ease. I’ve written this sock pattern with magic loop in mind. However, you can also work on double-pointed needles instead if you’d prefer (just use extra markers to denote the instep and sole stitches).

To further assist you, a link is provided that contains additional resources, such as a yarn substitutes and a technique playlist. These tools give you everything you need to create your masterpiece confidently.
