CONSTRUCTION
These reversible toe-up socks are knitted with the double knitting technique. Starting from the toe with two strands of yarn held together, the instep is worked in colourwork pattern while the sole is worked in ribbing. The fleegle heel is created after the gusset is completed in (Reverse) Stockinette Stitch. The leg is knitted in the round in pattern and finished with a ribbed cuff. As the socks are worked with the double knitting technique, they are fully reversible.
