OMG Heel Socks
I have a long love affair with self-striping yarns, but have the problem that the heels that fit me best disrupt the striping on the socks.
This pattern is for a basic sock, in a large range of sizes, and both toe-up and cuff-down. The pattern includes the OMG heel: One-needle Mock Gusset for toe-up or One-needle Mini Gusset for cuff-down. This heel does not disrupt the striping on the top of the foot because the gusset increases/decreases and turning of the heel is all on the bottom of the foot.
OMG heel mimics a gusset heel, but is a short-row heel. As such, the heel has a snugger fit like a short-row heel.
SIZING - (foot circumference - # of sts)
X-Small (7 inch - 48 sts)
Small (8 inch - 56 sts)
Medium (9 inch - 64 sts)
Large (10 inch - 72 sts)
X-Large (11 inch - 80 sts)
Looking for a roomier, more spacious heel pocket? Spacious OMG Heel socks pattern is also available.
A very popular question: what is the stitch pattern on the green and grey sock?
The stitch pattern is from: Skyp Rib Socks
