Description

These socks are worked from the toe up, beginning with a provisional cast-on that places the sole stitches on waste yarn. The toe is shaped with short-rows, then the waste yarn is removed from the provisional cast-on to provide the necessary number of stitches for the foot. The instep stitches are worked in a k3, p1 rib pattern while the sole stitches are worked in stockinette until the foot is the desired length. The heel is shaped with short-rows in the same manner as the toe, then a few rounds are worked for the ankle. The rib pattern is worked all around the leg and ends with a flexible bind-off. To accommodate the slightly larger circumference added by the calf muscle, the upper half of the leg is worked using needles one size larger than the main needles.
