Finnian Socks are wonderfully cosy, easy to knit and wear socks with a simple rib detail and a pop of colour.
They are worked in the round, beginning with the cuff, and include instructions for using either double-pointed needles or the magic loop method (a working knowledge of magic loop is assumed).
A simple rib detail is worked around the leg, on the heel flap and down the front of the foot.
The socks have a contrasting colour detail on the bottom of the heel and a four-row stripe is worked at the cuff and toe. Alternatively, they can be worked in a single colour.
