Product Details

This is my go-to vanilla pattern when using self-striping or highly variegated yarns. With a high instep, usually a heel flap and gusset fits best. But I don’t like having the stripes disrupted in the instep area, or large sections of pooling that can happen with highly variegated yarns. So a short row heel is preferred for those yarns. However, I still need a gusset for my high instep! Hence these socks.

Pattern can be worked either toe up or cuff down (instructions included for both).

6 sizes available

Easily adjustable!

I have discovered that if I use contrasting yarn (leftovers or minis or whatever) for heels, toes, and cuffs, I can usually get two pairs of adult medium sized socks out of one skein.

All sizes have been tested.
