ABOUT
This is the fourth sock in the 7 Days of Plain Socks series - and it’s a toe up sock with a heel flap! For this design, the heel flap is deep, with a classic slipped stitch texture. The heel turn is narrow (also called handkerchief). This design can be worked all in one colour, with the addition of 1 mini skein, or with the addition of two mini skeins (as seen in the sample).
