This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel. Texture pattern has both charted and written instructions.

This sock came from a love for the Gilmore Girls. I had a skein of the ‘Rory’ colorway from Legacy Fiber Artz and I found a yellow yarn for the contrast, so the colors are Rory’s school skirt and her backpack. Rory loves to read, so the pattern on the leg/foot mimics books on a bookcase. These are great socks for book lovers or just a great simple texture for your next sock cast on.
