Socks are worked toe-up. They start with Judy’s Magic Cast on, then increases for the toe.
The heel is worked as a combination of short-row heel with gusset increases (and then decreases) to create extra room on the instep.
These socks are worked in Magic Loop technique with the beginning of the round at the middle of the sole and then at the back of the leg.
Each special technique is illustrated with a video.
