Isabel´s socks
Pattern notes:
The instructions are given to work with the “magic loop” method but can be adapted to work with the sock knitting method of your choice.
Sock is worked from toe to cuff, and features a German short row heel.
You can modify the length of the foot by adding or removing the number of rounds that your size requires. The same for the length of the leg, you can add rounds until to length of your choice; and if you need to add more stitches to enlarge the circumference,you can place them between the purl stitches on the sides and / or on the back.
The file has the instructions to work from the chart and written instructions.
