This top down, heel flap sock looks woven, but no, it’s knit! Clever use of the slip stitch leaves ‘bars’ across the knit stitches. This highlights the color changes beautifully. It’s a unisex look, great for any colorway.

Sample knit with 60sts around leg & 56sts around foot.
Shown in “Tristan”, hand dyed by Lorna’s Laces.

Note: Due to the nature of the slipped stitches causing there to be less stretch than stockinette stitch, those with a high instep should knit one size larger in the leg then drop to their regular size at the gusset for the foot.
