Just as easy to work as 2 x 2 ribs, these offset ribs form spirals from one end of sock to the other. The spirals are just as stretchy as ribs, so they adjust to fit a variety of feet. Best of all—if your knitted ribbing is slightly uneven and funny looking (like mine), this stitch will still work up evenly.

Socks are worked from cuff to toe, with a short-row heel and standard toe.
