These are toe up socks made in two contrasting colours, with a mosaic pattern section around the ankle. Mosaic knitting is just like knitting stripes as it’s a form of slipped stitch knitting. As they are made from two colours for the ladies sizes you only need 50g of each making it a great way to use up unfinished skeins.

The heel is an afterthought heel, but you can substitute you favourite heel choice quite easily.

They are designed with negative ease for a snug fit and an afterthought heel (photo tutorial on picking up the stitches) but your favourite toe-up heel can be substituted.

Two very contrasting colours works best. One can be semisolid or variegated as long as the other skein contrasts well with all colours.
