My intention was to create an easy knit with interesting texture, socks meant for lounging in rather than wearing in shoes. I opted for a non-traditional heel that I love so much. The pattern is simple and engaging and knits up pretty quickly. It calls for Emma’s Practically Sock and a Practically Perfect small, which adds a pop of color on the cuff, heel and toe.
