This pattern is for a cuff-down ribbed sock with a leaf vine panel along one side of the front that incorporates twisted knit stitches & cabling. The ribbed remainder of the sock provides some stretchiness to help ensure a great fit- perfect for gift knitting! See my article “Nature’s Nylon: Natural Alternatives for Stronger Socks“ in the Winter 2022 issue of Spin Off magazine for more details on the handspun sock yarn and some other blends to consider.

Fully test knit in all sizes; test knitters rated this an intermediate knit.
