Carmanah Toe-Up Socks
The Carmanah socks are toe-up socks that use short rows to shape the heel turn. The socks feature an interesting stitch pattern that includes a double stitch, a bit of ribbing, a few slipped stitches, and a simple cross than can be worked with or without a cable needle. While this pattern is written for double point needles, it can easily be converted to whatever needles you like to use for your socks - small circumference circulars, Magic Loop, or two circular needles.
The sample socks are a size XL and were knit with Three Irish Girls’ Adorn Luxe in the Fresh Earth colourway. The sample socks comfortably fit a US men’s size 12 foot.
