Do you like wearing elegant clothes? Then don’t forget to dress your feet elegantly too!
The Dress your feet socks are knitted from the cuff down to the toe. Begin with the Estonian cast-on to create a stretchy edge that looks like a string of pearls. Work in 1/1 Twisted stitches pattern for the leg, then continue working the pattern for the heel flap, but in the opposite direction. By changing the direction of the pattern, a small diamond-like shape appears at the top of the heel. After turning the heel, start decreasing across the sole stitches to create the gusset. Finish the socks with the Short, Medium or Long Standard Toe, according to your measurements. Please note that the 1/1 Twisted stitches pattern is worked without using a cable needle.
