I love the squishy, soft effect you get from garter stitch so I thought that they would be just perfect to cushion the toes and heels on a sock.
I used my favourite short row method in Garter, German Short Rows. They’re easy and fast to create. If you’re used to standard wrap & turn short row methods it will feel a little different working these. With the German method when you make your short row turn the ‘double stitch’ you create is the first stitch of your next short row. So basically it sits inside your short row gap. However with the standard wrap method that wrap sits outside the short row gap.
Size these socks down a little to ensure a good fit, socks fit best if they’re snug!
