Skoosh Socks - Cuff Down

Welcome to our delightful sock knitting pattern, specifically crafted for those who love to work with double pointed needles. However, this versatile pattern can also be adapted for small circular needles or the magic loop technique, making it accessible for knitters of all preferences. This sock pattern includes instructions for three sizes:

Small (56 stitches)

Medium (64 stitches)

Large (72 stitches)

Designed as a cuff-down sock pattern, you will create these cozy socks in a single piece, beginning from the cuff and working all the way down to the toe. To ensure a comfortable fit, we recommend using a stretchy cast-on method for the initial stitches. The knitting sequence is simple and intuitive: start with the cuff, then proceed to the leg, followed by the heel, transitioning to the gusset, and finally, the foot before finishing it off at the toe. We finish with the popular Kitchener stitch to beautifully close off the toe, ensuring a seamless and polished look.

This sock pattern is presented in clear written format only, making it easy for knitters to follow along. The captivating design is inspired by my beloved Skoosh! Shawl, and these socks are so simple to knit that they truly embody the spirit of "skoosh!" which translates from Scottish dialect as ‘something very easy’—perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, I hope that this pattern serves as a helpful guide, allowing you to understand and master the art of cuff-down socks featuring a traditional heel flap and gusset construction. Join the thriving community of knitting enthusiasts and create a pair of socks that are not only practical but also a joy to knit!
