These short socks work up very quickly and can be made from just 50gm of sock yarn!

Worked from the top down, the short cuff quickly leads on to a garter stitch heel flap (that’s right, the only purl stitches in this pattern appear in the ankle rib), then a quick zoom down the foot to end in a neatly shaped toe.

Personalise with stripes mid foot, or stick with the pattern instructions for a sporty two colour toe. I like to use up scraps of yarn for a matching but non-identical look.

Perfect for wearing with sneakers or sandals (or even as bed socks) - what’s not to love??
