Description:
The socks are knitted from the ruffle to the toe. The process consists of several parts: working the ruffle, the roll, joining them, then the leg, the reinforced heel, the gusset, the foot, and the reinforced toe.

Important! While knitting, monitor the tension of the floats when working colorwork.
