Sweet Chicory Socks - pdf patterns

 I love the look of traditional ribbed socks but wanted something more interesting that involved more than just knits and purls but simple enough to not need a cable needle. Influenced by the current popularity of Regency wallpaper designs, I decided to add a repeating flower-like motif in between some ribbing and fake cabling.

This pattern originally appeared in The Knitter magazine.

These socks are knitted top down using the magic loop technique.

One skein will make a medium (UK 6, US 8.5, Euro 39) to large (UK 10, US 12 Euro 44) pair of adult socks.
