The Banded Socks, as the name suggests, are designed to feature self-striping yarn and contrasting heels, toes, and cuffs. Have fun with this unique texture and enjoyable knit!

This pattern is written for using the magic loop method, but detailed instructions are provided for substituting any method.

Similarly, this pattern recommends and has written instructions and video tutorials for knitting an afterthought heel. However, instructions are given for you to substitute your preferred heel.

This pattern is written for sizes small(medium, large) and are designed to fit a 7(8, 9) inch foot circumference. Please note that sock fabric has a lot of stretch, and each size will realistically fit 6-8(7-9, 8-10) inch feet. I suggest choosing the size that best suits the amount of negative/positive ease you prefer for socks.
