These classic socks, made in cosy Inca Spun Heritage sock yarn, are a wardrobe staple. The cuff, heel and toe are worked in a contrast colour to add a bit of spark but they could also be worked in a single colour if preferred.
They are worked in the round on a set of double-pointed needles, beginning with the cuff.
The cuff, heel flap and toes are worked in a contrasting colour.
A slipped-stitch heel flap provides durability.
These socks require intermediate knitting skills.

Special thanks to:
Sue for modelling these socks and
Linda for sample knitting.
