Some things just work - so why mess with tradition? This low-pressure, classic pattern is worked from the cuff down, featuring an optional contrast coloured cuff, heel, and toe. The heel features a classic flap and gusset construction and toe is closed by a Kitchener stitch finish. This is a great fun pair of socks for beginners, stash busters and knit alongs.
