After knitting nothing but socks during March 2017, I’ve found my favorite sock recipe for use with self-striping yarn and/or contrasting cuff-heel-toe. This recipe, which has a Cuff-Down and Toe-Up version, not only produces beautiful socks but also fits fantastically! I hope you enjoy these socks as much as I do.

Materials
• 300-460 yards of fingering weight yarn (depending on size of calf and foot desired). Both Cuff-Down and Toe-Up socks are shown in francofille knits Garden Party on Normandie (400 yards 100 grams).
• US size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needles with cable long enough for magic loop (or preferred sock needles
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
