These socks are knit in the round from the leg cuff down to the toe featuring a simple, easy-to-remember cable pattern. The length of the leg may be adjusted to your liking, but end on round 2 of the cable pattern before working the heel flap.

The heel flap is worked back and forth in rows in Stockinette Stitch. Short rows are used to shape the heel then stitches are picked up along each side of the heel flap to begin working in the round once again. Stitches are decreased for the gusset, then you work until the sock measures 2” less than the total desired length from the back of the heel. Stitches are decreased for the toe, then the remaining stitches are joined using the Kitchener stitch.

Some online tutorials for the Magic Loop technique, short rows and the Kitchener stitch are available on our website.
