Pattern Notes

These socks are worked from the top down. They can be worked with a modified short row heel that includes a mini heel flap for a better fit, or a standard top-down heel flap.

The sample shown in the photos features the modified short row heel. This heel is included in the main pattern. The top down heel flap can be found on page 5.

The cuff is worked in a pretty twisted rib, punctuated by bands of eyelets. The leg and upper foot feature a texture pattern.
