Description
These fingering weight socks are knit in the round from the top down with a contrast color folded cuff to give them a fun little pop. A true afterthought heel is cut in once the sock tube and toe are completed. The pattern includes detailed written instructions, images and links to video tutorials for both the folded cuff and afterthought heel. This pattern offers seven sock sizes designed to fit with 0.5 to 1.5 inches of negative ease. If you are unsure of which size to pick between, I recommend going a size down as socks are supposed to have a snug fit.
