Arctic Sun Socks
ARCTIC SUN SOCKS are knitted from the top down, starting at the cuff, followed by stranded-colourwork, then the heel is knit and shaped with short rows. After shaping the gusset, the rest of the foot is knit and followed by toe decreases. The socks feature a classic two-colour colourwork pattern and a reinforced slip-stitch heel for extra durability.
Recommended negative ease: 3-5 cm.
Finished measurements (One size)
Cuff circumference (lightly stretched): 19 cm
Leg circumference (around the ankle): 20 cm
Foot circumference (around the ball of the foot): 24 cm
You can adjust the sizing by adjusting either the needle size or yarn weight.
