CONSTRUCTION
These socks are knitted one at a time, starting at the cuff and ending at the toe. To begin, the cuff and leg are worked in the round. Next, the heel is worked flat using the heel flap method, and finally you will pick up stitches along the heel flap to continue working the foot in the round. After working the foot, you will work decreases to shape the toes, and graft the last few stitches together.
