Let me introduce my new pair of cuff-down. Start knitting at the cuff, then work the leg and heel flap, turn the heel using short rows, create the gusset, knit the foot of socks, finish with short, medium or long wedge toe and that’s it.
The pattern stitch is obviously eye-catching and keeps you engaged but not too busy:-)
I also like that the lengths of foot and leg of the socks are totally adjustable!
Solid or semi-solid yarn show off the pattern best and nicely.
