So, you’d like to knit cuff-down socks but you don’t like to pick up stitches along the heel flap?
Then you are at the right place, as in this pattern we are going to use only increases and decreases to create the heel. Isn’t it just brilliant?!
Furthermore the pattern comes with three different sizes of toe: small, medium, and long standard toe. Choose the type of toe according to your desired length of toe.
Highly recommended for first-time sock knitters!
The pattern contains schematics and written instructions. It has been professionally tech edited and test knitted.
