These socks are designed based on a pair of slippers I bought on an early morning from an old lady on the streets of Belgrade, while I was walking towards the Danube.

It took me some time to figure out how these slippers had been knitted. But with some help of Serbian friends, mothers and aunts in the end I found out. I added a leg and was struggling with the two-coloured cuff and the bind of, as I wanted it to be a Vikkel Braid.
The socks are knitted toe up and have a different cast on than usual.

The heel used is a so-called afterthought heel or peasant heel.

So it’s not a really easy sock to knit….
