Pattern Notes
These socks are knit in the round from the cuff down. Calf shaping is hidden in the ribbing above the stranded colorwork band on the leg. All of the stranded colorwork sections are worked using larger needles to create a flexible fabric that will stretch comfortably over the foot and leg. In areas where the unused color is carried behind the work for more than 5 sts, catch the float underneath the working yarn to secure it to the back of the work and prevent too-large loops from forming.
