Harlequin Socks Pattern

This sock is knit from the top down in the round. The pattern is written for knitting with 9” circular needles but can be easily translated to magic loop (DPNs will be harder to work with for this pattern). The pattern is knit using a combination of stranded knitting and increasing + decreasing.

There is an afterthought heel and the toe is knit in the traditional decreased manner.

Crew height socks in 2 sizes Narrow (Wide). The pattern provides details on how to manipulate the length to accommodate various shoe sizes.

Pick your size based on width, not length.
