These socks are knit from the top down with an Afterthought heel. This pattern was conceived for trapping floats knitting practice. The sample socks uses trapping floats every 3 or 4sts. Trapping floats knitting instructions can be found on ROHDEAYARN’s Instagram. (Account name @rohdea_yarn)

Since these are large color-block socks, the hand-dyed yarn should stand out beautifully. Please prepare your favorite colorful hand-dyed yarn and give it a try!
