ABOUT
The Knotte Sock uses yarn-overs to create gaps through which an I-Cord will be woven and tied to create a bow. The bow can be placed anywhere on the cuff, below the folded picot edge. The texture of the sock is created using Estonian Buttons leading to a short-row heel and a contrast toe matching the I-Cord.

Perfect for sock sets!
