Construction
Knit cuff down and in the round as one long tube finishing with a wedge toe, the heel is added afterwards using the afterthought method. You can choose whether to knit a shortie, regular leg or long leg with heel placement built into the colour work pattern. Video tutorials included for Kitchener Stitch and Afterthought Heel

With only 2 colours and a 4 stitch repeat the stranded colour work is simple and addictive with no float carrying! Tension is very important so if you are new to colour work sock swatching is a must as you will most likely need to go up a needle size.
