Knit entirely in the round with no heel turn. These lightly textured socks are worked from the top down with self-patterning yarn and have a contrasting cuff, toe and afterthought heel. The heel is added after the rest of the sock is completely knit making the pattern easy to adjust for different foot lengths.

This pattern is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or circular needles with your favorite small circumference circular knitting method.
