Cromulent Socks by Lauren Rad

Cuff down socks have a narrow ribbed cuff and lovely columns of eyelets down the leg and over the top of the foot.

Accessibility Statement: This pattern includes a second PDF version that is formatted for knitters with low vision. It has black text, size 22 or larger text in a sans serif font, no italics, no columns, and fully-written directions. The chart is still included but is not needed to work the pattern.

Designer’s Description: Cromulent (adj.) – acceptable or legitimate. Calling something “cromulent” may seem a bit like damning with faint praise, but the word itself is so lovely that I think it accidentally intensifies itself. That’s kind of like socks with a particularly good stitch pattern. A sock is a fairly ordinary thing, but give it a little decoration and suddenly it seems much more interesting. The Cromulent Socks are knit from the cuff down with a twisted 1×1 ribbed cuff and a soothing stitch pattern of eight stitches over four rows. My favorite detail, though, is the Eye of the Partridge texture on the heel flap. I love when structural things like a reinforced heel flap can also be interesting to look at. These cromulent little bits of knitting will work up quickly and keep you cozy. Sizes small, medium and large.
