I chose the name PolkaSocks because the patterning is an accordion rib. Plus my best friend’s husband, who retired from teaching in 2020, loves polka…and has taken up accordion lessons as a new retirement activity. This pattern offers four different sizes and two cuff ribbing options. Socks are knit from the toe up with a gusset and slip-stitch heel.
- Sizes: Approx. 5 1/2 (6 1/2, 7 1/4, 7 3/4)” leg circumference, unstretched; stretches up to approx. 9 1/2 (10 3/4, 12 1/4, 13 1/2)”
- Yarn: 100 grams of fingering-weight sock yarn
- Needles: U.S. size 1 (2.25mm) double-pointed or 32″ or longer circular for magic loop
- Gauges: 7 sts = 1″ in Stockinette stitch; approx. 10 sts = 1″ in Accordion Rib Pattern, unstretched
