Jane Fairfax Socks
These socks are worked from the toe up. The gusset and heel flap technique used here is fairly easy. Some wrap-and-turn short rows are involved, but they’re not too tedious, and the wraps are concealed all at once. The heel flap is “zipped up” one row at a time with the sides of the gusset.
This pattern is named after a character in Jane Austen’s Emma:
“Jane Fairfax was elegant, remarkably elegant… Her height was pretty, just such as almost every body would think tall, and nobody could think very tall; her figure particularly graceful; her size a most becoming medium…”
