About:
The Sunday Slouch Socks are relaxed, everyday socks worked toe-up using the magic loop method. Designed in three sizes (S, M, L), they feature a classic construction: toe shaping, gusset increases, and a neat short-row heel for a comfortable fit.
The leg is worked in a textured rib pattern, provided in both charted and written instructions, giving a subtle detail without complicating the rhythm of knitting. A simple ribbed cuff finishes the sock, ready to wear with a casual slouch.
Sunday Slouch Socks are perfect for knitters who enjoy structured socks with a touch of texture, the Sunday Slouch Socks are practical, versatile, and snuggly to wear.

Sizes:
Small, (Medium), Large
