Creme Brulee Top Down Sock Pattern

Basic socks worked from the top down. Choose between ribbed socks for a stretchy fit or stocking stitch for smooth fit. This pattern includes extra information designed to help new sock knitters.

Pattern is written for double pointed needles but can also be knitted on circular needles (very short sock circular needle, magic loop or two circulars techniques).
