Ribb-Party is a cuff-down sock featuring an offset ribbing pattern throughout the leg and foot, making the sock fit perfectly snug on your foot! The gusset increases are placed at the back of the leg so that you’re working both the gusset and what usually would be a heel flap at the same time before turning the heel, making this a beautifully smooth way of shaping a heel without picking up any stitches. The sole is worked in stockinette stitch while the foot features the familiar ribbing pattern.
