Floresta socks

Knitted with a circular needle using the toe up method, where the sock starts at the fingertips and ends at the cuff. Judy’s Magic Cast-On technique was used to cast on the stitches and the cuff was finished with the Tubular Bind-off technique. There is a strip of fancy stitching all along the front.
The difference is the heel, which is made using the Fleegle heel technique, which simplifies short rows and eliminates the need to lift stitches, in addition to not leaving that little hole in the corners of the heel.

Foot and leg lengths are adjustable to your measurements.
