Wheely socks are fully reversible, knit toe up, in the round with a small gusset and short row heel.

The design is suitable for a solid, tonal or multi-colour yarn.

The use of single purl stitch columns in a widening spoke look, reminiscent of the bicycle wheels I see on my daily walks around the neighbourhood. Immediately above the foot and between each section there is a short textured repeat imitating the texture of the bicycle tyre.

The next part in the Wheely series, the increasing rib fabric is suitable for working socks of various lengths.

Both foot and leg length are fully adjustable, perfect for using all your yarn – make them as short or long as you like.

The pattern includes full written instructions only.
