Cinch Socks
ABOUT
The Cinch Sock uses an I-Cord to tighten a cinch that can be placed on either side, or the front or back of the sock. The I-Cord is worked in a contrast colour, which matches the contrast toe. A channel is knit using slipped stitched to hold the I-Cord in place, and yarn overs are used to make openings for the I-Cord to pass through. The heel is a short-row heel with a minimal appearance to maintain the emphasis of the cinch.
Perfect for sock sets!
