No knitting gymnastics are required to make these socks. You can create a beautiful pair of socks with only simple knit and purl stitches to make the diamond patterning. So take it easy, sit back and enjoy your knitting. These socks are knit cuff-down to the toe and feature the traditional heel flap and gusset construction method. Directions are given both in charts as well as line-by-line written instructions.
