Patten Notes
Difficulty rating: Intermediate.
The socks are made from the top down. Starting with a cuff worked sideways and joined the sock stitches are picked up from the row ends and worked in the round until the heel. The heel is worked flat in rows and then stitches are picked up around the heel flap to form the foot. The toe is worked in the round then seamed.
