Feels like summer socks
These ultra-short summer socks are a joy to knit and to wear. Instead of the typical short row heel often used in short socks, these shorties feature a more traditional heel flap and gusset construction. This ensures a perfect fit. You’ll start knitting the heel right after finishing the cute rolled cuff. The round toe (knitted in helical stripes) in the same contrast colors as the cuff, completes the look. It’s the perfect scrappy project — just 35 grams and a few mini leftovers are enough to knit one pair of Feels Like Summer Socks in size 39-40. And they’re finished before you know it!

A little bonus
The stockinette stitches on the top of the foot can easily be replaced with a cute lace pattern which can be found in my free Chicky Lace Socks pattern. This particular lace chart is also included in this pattern booklet.

The instructions in this pattern booklet are combined under one heading and marked with colors: (Dutch), (English), and (German). Because the instructions for knitting the heel and toe are a bit more extensive, I’ve created separate pages for each language there. It’s all very straightforward.

For DPNs, Magic Loop and short circulars
This cuff down sock pattern with heel flap and gusset is easy to knit, also for beginning sock knitters. It is suitable for knitting with DPNs, magic loop and short circulars. The instructions for these different type of needles are clearly indicated in the text.
