PATTERN NOTES
These socks are worked from the cuff down in the round.
The stitch pattern goes all the way around the leg, then
after the heel the pattern is worked only on the instep
(top of the foot) with the sole stitches worked in stocking
stitch. The heel and toe are both shaped with short rows
using the wrap and turn method. The toe stitches are
then grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.
