Free Pattern Phursday - Eight
I have seen so many pairs of these knit up, and every time I think it is the prettiest pattern. And it's mine! Who knew?
I hope you enjoy it. Right now, it has no name other than Bamboo Socks. I'm not in a clever pattern naming mind set today. This flu is really kicking my butt.
Top down Construction, using dp needles. Easily converted to magic loop if you are so inclined.

on needle 1, 30 on needle 2 and 14 on needle 3. Work in pattern stitch for 10 repeats of pattern or until cuff is desired length.

needle, and divide the instep stitches onto two needles.)
