Seasalt Socks are worked in the round from the cuff down using the magic loop method. They feature a traditional stretchy cuff in 1 x 1 ribbing, and a textured pattern along the leg and foot created with knit and purl stitches. The heel is constructed using the traditional heel flap with gusset, and toes are finished using modified gradual decreases, creating a rounded toe construction to suit a wide variety of foot shapes. The length of the leg is adjustable and can be made longer by repeating the pattern sequence. The pattern is ideal for semi-solid or lightly speckled yarns that will show off the textured pattern of the socks.
