Description
I have always had a problem getting hand-knitted socks to stay up. I frequently end up with them clumped around my toes, and so I decided to work out something to fix that. This pattern uses a combination of simple rib and arch support, which together help the socks to be much more inclined to stay put.
These socks are designed to be 2-colour.
Needles and Accessories
All required.
- Needles: 2.5mm/US 1.5 or size needed to match tension, in your choice of

Pattern Notes
These socks are worked top down (from the cuff) using a simple rib stitch. The socks are designed with negative ease because they stretch during wear. They will also ‘give’ with use, so it is better if they start a little tighter.
