The Solpor socks are knitted toe up using the Magic Loop Technique, but the pattern can be easily adapted to DPNs or shorter circular needles. The particularity of this design is the heel, which is an afterthought heel. It is a popular Estonian heel shaped with paired decreases on every other round.
