Notes

I love these socks. The pocket is like magic and simple to do once the logic is grasped. I found the gusset a bit tricky, and requiring concentration, but the end result is very effective. Trust the pattern.

  • Double-knitting
  • Modified river-bed gusset
  • Very plush squishy heel

NOTES FOR MODERATORS

  • Team Beethoven

  • Needle size: 2.25mm
