Kupalinka Socks are worked top down, beginning with the cuff.
The color pattern of these socks is neither achieved by an intarsia nor an embroidery method. It’s done by simply weaving in the contrast colored yarn between the stitches while knitting a plain stockinette sock with the main color. In Estonian knitting, this technique is called ‘roosimine’
