Minttu socks are worked from the cuff down, with a heelflap and gusset. Cables and eyelet lace run down the top of the foot and there’s a cable and twisted ribbing at the back.

The instep is quite roomy, but you can adjust that by decreasing at a faster pace, if you want it tighter. The pattern tells you when to do that.

The pattern was first published in Finnish in Suuri Käsityö 8/2020.
Now there’s also an English translation available.
