CONSTRUCTION
These socks are worked from the toe up and feature a short row heel. The extra-long cuffs can be worn long, scrunched or folded, however you prefer, and the length is easy to adjust to your liking. The textured pattern looks different on the right and wrong side, so when worn folded, the look of the socks changes.
