Briley

Simplistic texture makes Briley a fan favorite for newer sock knitters and anyone looking for something more potato-chippy without going with a plain vanilla sock. This textured sock pattern also plays very well with various sock yarn types, so whether you’re working with variegated, self-striping, speckled, or a solid, you’ll have an enjoyable and unique outcome.

This pattern is rated as easy but could easily be tackled by an adventurous beginner, as the pattern has helpful links to not only achieve a proper fit but give you some insight into what to look for in a sock yarn!
