Ivy and Nettle

Introducing our versatile knitting pattern for cozy socks, available in both cuff-down and toe-up styles. The cuff-down version employs a classic square heel shaping technique, while the toe-up version features a contemporary short row heel shaping. Both methods lend themselves to ease of customization, allowing you to adjust the leg length to your preference by simply incorporating more or fewer rounds of the charming Ivy and Nettle Stitch Pattern. Whether you prefer a longer or shorter leg, you have complete control over your design!

Additionally, adjusting the foot length is a breeze. Just keep in mind that the finished foot length should be ½” (1 cm) shorter than your actual foot length to ensure a snug fit. Similarly, for the best comfort, the foot circumference should measure 1” (2.5 cm) less than the actual girth of your foot. This ensures your socks fit perfectly, allowing you to enjoy every step!

For those looking to personalize their socks even further, we've included instructions for alternative cuff options, enabling you to create a unique look that suits your style.

We understand that accessibility is important, which is why a low-vision format of this pattern is available. This version features a clear, 22 point sans serif font (Arial) in all black text, with all instructions fully spelled out. You'll find no italics here, making it easier for all knitters to follow along. Also, this pattern is chart-free, streamlining your knitting experience.
