The sock cuff is a stretchy ribbing, crocheted back and forth and closed into a tube with single crochet stitches. The leg is worked in rounds, alternating knit and back loop single crochets, creating a texture reminiscent of brioche knitting. Decrease on both sides of the leg and at the toe to ensure a perfect fit. The heel is crocheted in rounds with knit stitches, shaped by evenly decreasing stitches on both edges. The sock comes in three sizes – each size has their separate instructions.
