  • This pattern is the June sock in my Westknits Year of Socks e-book. This pattern is available as part of the Westknits Year of Socks 2025 e-book. 
    These top-down socks are inspired by one of my first Westknits designs called Botanic Hat. Begin with the ribbed cuff followed by stripes and slip stitches on the leg. You only work with one color a time while working the simple slip stitch pattern. The top of the foot is knit flat with the same slip stitch columns. Then, the heel flap and heel turn are worked in a pop of color. The gusset and sole of the sock are knitted flat in stockinette stitch while being seamlessly attached to the top foot fabric. This modular construction creates a bold color blocked design and highlights Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy self-striping sock yarn. Combine one self-striping sock yarn with a solid main color for these sleek and stripetastic socks.

Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot. The lengths of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot.
