PATTERN NOTES

The sock is knitted from the toe up and features a Fleegle Heel.

The sample uses two contrast colours to create mis-matched socks, you could make yours matching by using the same colour order for both socks. This pattern is also perfect for using up tiny scraps of left over sock yarn for the stripes.

The suggested cast on is Judy’s Magic Cast On, however you can use your preferred method of casting on toe up socks.
