A clean design lover, modern soul and a fan of basic capsule wardrobe trend would be happy to receive Minimalist Socks as a gift! They feature a simple, but timeless ribbing pattern, which is featured along the leg and continues onto both instep and the heel.

This pattern is easy and quick to make and uses worsted weight yarn. It also requires low attention, so you can knit the socks up while watching your favorite series (win-win!).

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
