The Cafe Socks DK are a simple almost-vanilla sock pattern, featuring a heel flap and gusset construction and an all-over rib pattern that extends through the heel flap.

It features the full size range from baby to adults!

Suitable for DK weight sock yarn, this pattern makes for great house socks or boot socks. This free pattern is a great intro to Aimee Sher's pattern writing style!

See my blog about managing the colors of this lovely gradient yarn to avoid a jog at the top of the foot while knitting the heel flap!

Needles

A (Main Fabric): US 3 / 3.25 mm DPN’s, small circulars, or long circulars for magic loop.

B (Ribbing): US 2.5 / 3 mm DPN’s, small circulars, or long circulars for magic loop.

If knitting with small circulars, an additional set of DPN’s or long circulars will be required. Needle B should achieve rib that matches main fabric gauge. In 1x1 rib, this may require that you go down one more size.
