The Poinsettia Socks are knit from the toe up with stripes along the foot and part of the leg, the stitch count is then increased to accommodate a band of colourwork before the ribbed cuff.

The pattern has a wedge toe and a Wrap and Turn short row heel, however the heel and toe can be changed to your own choice. They are knit using the magic loop method but can be adapted to suit your preferred method of sock knitting.
