Basic Cuff Down Sock with Short Row Heel
Knitted ‘top-down’, these socks can be made using any standard 4 ply sock yarn and are cast on at the cuff, then worked in the round down to the heel.
There are 2 leg lengths, a classic 7” (18cm) from the cuff to the start of the heel - or a shorter version, with a 5” (12.5cm) leg length.
The heel shaping is then made by working wrapped stitches, back and forth in rows across half of the total stitches.
Then the foot is worked back in the round, to the toe with 2 toe options.
To help with the techniques in the pattern, the following YouTube Tutorials are available to help you.
