Step In DK Socks
The instep of a sock is an important part of sock construction – so why not highlight it? Introducing the Step In Sock: the cozy color-blocked sock that emphasizes your instep.
This basic sock is knit from the toe up and features a gusset on the bottom of the foot and a turned heel, heel flap, and instep in a contrast color. Much of the sock is in glorious (and quick!) stockinette. Only one color is used at a time, so there is no complicated color management.

What test knitters had to say:
“I like the gusset under the foot. I like that it’s a very simple design, but then with a small hidden feature.”
“They are quite quick and the gusset shaping is more interesting than a lot of other sock patterns.”
“It was fun to knit, with colour changes you’re always eager to keep going. Am grateful you wrote the jogless join into the pattern, makes for a nicer looking finished product.”
“I can imagine so many fun colour blocking combos being put together for this pattern.”
