**************************
These socks have been designed with comfort in mind: comfort in knitting, and comfort in wearing.

I’ve used a handsome and interesting-but-not-too-interesting pattern stitch for the leg and the foot. It’s a bit more fun than plain stockinette, and keeps you engaged as you’re working. It looks best with a solid, semi-solid colouring, but can hold its own with even a lively variegated yarn.

They’re worked top down, and feature a flap-and-gusset heel for best fit. I’ve reinforced both the heel flap and the turn, for added longevity – and comfort, too!

The spiral toe is comfortable to wear, and avoids the often-troublesome grafted close.

There are notes for variations and customizations: a slouchy-leg version and different choices for the heel patterning.
