About this template
The 24-column, 28-row surface chart begins with six rows of 1 x 1 rib, followed by a six-stitch colour repeat. The saved chart opens in flat mode; change the knitting construction to round before using it for circular reading or playback. This is a motif starter, not a graded sock pattern: choose a tested heel, foot and toe construction separately.
Make it yours
Resize the circumference from a blocked swatch worked in the round, keep the motif divisible by the stitch count, and test float length and elasticity before making a pair.
