GENERAL INFORMATION
These socks are knitted from the cuff down and worked in the round to the heel. The heel flap is worked flat, and the heel turn is made using short rows. Stitches are picked up along the sides of the heel flap, then joined and worked in the round again. The gusset is formed by working decreases on both sides of the foot. The foot is worked in the round to the toe where decreases shape the toe. Then toe stitches are grafted closed using a modified Kitchener stitch.
These socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1 inch / 2.5 cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit snugly. The lengths of the cuff, ankle, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more or fewer rounds. You can also start on larger needles if you have larger ankles.

Use the yarn requirements as a guide. They assume you make the sock to the stated size (see below) but the sock can be adjusted to fit, which may increase or decrease yarn requirements depending on the changes you make.
