ABOUT
The final sock in 7 Days of Ribbed Socks, today we have a spiral rib sock, where each sock (left and right) can spiral in opposite directions. This sock is worked top down with a heel flap — but with the gusset decreases on the bottom of the foot! While the texture can appear complex, it’s very easy to work — only knits & purls!
