Totally Rad Ribbed Socks

Skill Level: Easy

Style: Cuff-down; Heel Flap & Gusset; Afterthought heel

The Totally Rad Ribbed Socks are a cozy tribute to the Retro Striped Socks of the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Whether you wear them on a hike through the woods, with your rollerskates on a beach boardwalk, or curled up at home on a cold, blustery day, these socks will quickly become a versatile staple in your wardrobe!

This pattern includes instructions for both a tabbed cuff, a ribbed cuff, a heel flap and gusset, or a peasant heel. There are options for different lengths and stripes as well - you can choose the options you like best!

There are also links to video tutorials throughout the pattern demonstrating certain techniques, as well as picture tutorials in the pattern itself.

Additionally, a bonus page is included in the pattern with instructions for crocheting cute little flowers you can sew on your ribbed socks!

Note: This listing is for the digital PDF knitting pattern, not the physical socks.
