After knitting for over 10 years, I finally worked up the courage to offer my husband something designed especially for him. These toe-up socks are a very subtle gansey pattern, perfect for the man who’s afraid of color! They are work appropriate for both dress and dress casual situations.

The heel is worked in Cat Bordhi’s new Sweet Tomato Heel style, offering a chance to learn an exciting new technique!

The patterning is started after the toe is completed and worked over the entirety of the instep. You have the option of leaving the back blank after turning the heel.
