The Amber-dextrous Socks feature a simple slip stitch pattern that creates a spiral texture. Instructions are included to create both clockwise and counterclockwise spirals. Make a mirrored pair of socks or a pair that spirals in the same direction! This pattern features a wedge toe and a shadow wrap heel, both of which can easily be substituted with whatever heel or toe fits you best! Optional modifications have also been included to allow you to create the best fit and still maintain a fun stitch pattern.
