The Wide Rib DK Weight Sock pattern is written from the top down. The design starts with a 1×1 ribbing and ends with a Star Toe. However, you can substitute the Star Toe for a Round Toe or a Barn Toe.

Hello! Congratulations on your first magic loop sock! Have you knitted the gusset decreases yet? If not you should arrange your stitches like this: Proper orientation of sts on the needles should be as follows: original 20(24, 28) sts on the front needle, and the 20(24, 28) sts that were picked up along the slipped st sides plus the 12(14, 16) sts that were left after completing the heel turn for a total of 32(38, 44) sts on the back needle.
The front needle should have the continuing ribbed pattern because those stitches make up the front (or top) of the sock. The stitches on the back needle are the bottom of the sock, under the heel. The bottom stitches are only knit (no purling) to create stockinette stitch. Once you have decreased the stitches down to the original 40 (48, 56)sts, you will have 20(24, 28) sts on the front needle that continue in the ribbed pattern, and 20(24, 28) sts on the back needle that are knit in stockinette stitch.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions that you may have. You can always email me at roseopalknits@gmail.com, as well. Happy knitting!

Are the small, med, large CO sizes for women’s shoe size? What would the medium CO be in relation to a women’s shoe size?
Thank you!

Hello!
The small, medium, and large size are basic adult sizes based on width, not length, as length is based on the number or rounds you decide to knit.
The small size would be for someone with a more narrow foot, medium size is for a medium width, and large size is for a person with a wide width.
For example, I cast on the medium size as I wear a women’s size 10.5 medium width. For my husband, I cast on the large size as he wear a men’s 12 wide width shoe.
I hope this information helps!
