Rae
Rae-socks have a textured stitch pattern and a heel wedge type heel which is worked both cuff down and toe up without picking up stitches.
The pattern has instructions for both CUFF DOWN and TOE UP socks for fingering, sport and worsted weigh yarn.
The pattern is written for magic loop, but can easily be modified for double pointed needles.
