The Izzy Socks were designed with highly variegated or pooling yarns in mind. These socks features a simple seed stitch pattern with honeycomb cables up the side. They have a traditional heel flap construction and a gusset with decreases at the bottom of the foot instead of the sides. They also call for a tubular cast on, which eliminates the problem of a tight cast on that won’t fit over your heel. Izzy is designed with comfort in mind and is perfect for those zany colorways you’re not quite sure what to do with.

Sizes: S (M, L), or 64 (72, 80) sts.
Finished Foot/Leg Size: 8 (9, 10)“.
Sample is size M.

Yarn: One skein of your favorite sock yarn. I used Storyteller Sock for the sample.

Gauge: 8 stitches x 12 rows per inch.

Notions: 2-3 stitch markers for gusset and BOR. Tapestry needle for kitchener stitch and weaving in ends.
