Beckfoot Socks are an updated version of my previous Mrs Lamb’s Simple Socks pattern. I love this pattern because I designed the heel using just increase and decrease stitches,
rather than picking up stitches in a traditional heel. I always hated picking up stitches so this pattern was designed to make knitting socks as simple as possible.
