Sidewinder

Columns of knits decorated with purl dots slither across these socks, like tracks left in the sand by a sidewinder snake. Columns of purls create ribbing that ensures a snug and comfy fit.

Knit from the top down, the Sidewinder socks begin with twisted-stitch ribbing that slowly changes into the main Sidewinder stitch pattern. The flap-and-gusset heels make use of the Eye of Partridge slip-stitch pattern, while the Sidewinder patterning continues down the instep. The socks end with round toes that do not require any grafting.
