Here’s the cuff-down version of the socks with princess feet--the bottom of the heel, the sole of the foot, and the toe are all in reverse stockinette stitch. The smooth knit side of the stockinette faces inside against the sole of the foot for a more comfortable sock. The trick is that the foot is knit inside out. No additional purling is needed.
This cuff-down version includes a heel flap and gusset. The leg and instep are ribbed for a stretchy, comfy fit.
The simplicity of the pattern makes this an easy knit and allows these instructions to be used to reverse the foot of almost any sock pattern. Use Daylong Socks as a blueprint to improve the comfort of your next socks.
There is a toe-up version as well as a combined pattern that includes both cuff-down and toe-up versions at a lower price than purchasing the two versions separately.
