This is a simple “plain vanilla” sock pattern. Its designed specifically for self-patterning yarns such as Regia and Opal. Because there is no gusset shaping, there is little pattern disruption with the self-patterning yarns. The heel uses an interesting combination of construction techniques including a typical flap construction and short row decreases. No finicky short row wrap and turns! This band heel technique is adapted from Nancy Bush’s Folk Socks.
