A very meditative pattern that creates a bold sock! Knit with two high-contrast colors of Capretta, the Ladder Up Socks use slipped stitches so only one strand of yarn is used at a time. Pattern uses a heel flap and gusset and a wedge toe.

The slipped stitches used in the pattern can reduce the stretch of the sock, so take care to keep the slipped stitches loose or consider going up a needle size.
