To celebrate the release this sock pattern is 25% off until Wednesday, Nov. 19, 23.59 Berlin time. There’s no code needed.

The completely seamless sock is worked in an interesting hybrid construction. The sock starts with a provisional cast-on for the heel. A provisional cast-on has the advantage that you can work from the live stitches on both sides of the cast-on and do not have to pick up new stitches to work the leg later. The heel is worked with flap and heel turn, using short rows. The sole is worked flat in rows back and forth to the toe, while the gusset is shaped with decreases. A selvedge stitch is worked on both sides of the sole to join the two parts of the sock later. The toe is shaped with short rows and shadow wraps to create a neat and hole-free finish. The instep of the sock is now worked flat toe-up in rows in twisted rib. In each row, the last stitch of the instep is worked together with the corresponding selvedge stitch of the sole. In this way, the two parts of the sock are joined as you go. When all stitches of the two parts have been joined, the stitches on hold of the heel are placed on the needle and the leg is worked in the round in twisted rib up to the cuff. Increases shape the ruffled cuff which is bound off in contrasting colour.
