As a male knitter it is often times difficult to find a pattern that has style, and interest to last not only through the knitting process, but stands up to the test of wear. So I've been looking for a good 'dress sock' pattern for a while. THIS IS IT! The Johnny Sock is not only good looking, textured in design, but fun to knit up. And the price is very reasonable ... I plan on making many of these - to go with all my suits - and not only for myself.
