Crazy socks with shaped heel
First Version:
I knit the cuff and then put the stitches left of 0 on waste yarn. I then follow the pattern on the remaining stitches in work and end up putting the last row on waste yarn. I graft those two edges and sew the ribbing seam. Crazy Sock done. Nothing matches and I really don’t care!
Second Version:
I knit the cuff and all the way down to the beginning of the heel. I put the stitches left of 0 on waste yarn. I continue on with my pattern until I reach the last row which butts up to the waste yarn. Take those stitches off on waste yarn and graft. This version requires that you sew the side seam and the ribbing so that is a little more sewing but really not that much. However the beauty of this version is the area that shows above the heel matches!!! So if you want to be more particular about that section of the sock that is seen above the shoe area then this might be the way to go. The heel and foot section will be busy with pattern but not so visible when you wear shoes….
