NOTES
This is a top-down sock worked in stranded colorwork, featuring a peasant heel and anatomical toes. A mini gusset tutorial is included in the pattern for those who like a bit more room over the instep; the original sample socks are knit without the mini gusset.
The pattern is written for the magic loop technique, but you can also use DPNs.
