Want to knit socks, but are intimidated by the idea of fiddling around with 4 of 5 double-pointed needles to knit them? Use a 9-inch circular to make this cuff-down sock with and after thought heel.

You will use the Magic Loop Technique with a 32” circular to narrow for heels and toes. Pattern walks you through how to cut out the space for the heel, and insert the heel using Magic Loop technique. A basic understanding of Magic Looping is required for this pattern. A quick review of a video or two on You Tube on Magic Loop should be enough preparation to do the toes and heels.
