ABOUT
Another day, another twist on plain socks! This sock is the sixth in 7 Days of Plain Socks. This sock is worked toe-up with helical striping, which shows off variegated yarn beautifully! The honeycomb heel texture on the heel flap is sturdy and fun to work. This sock can be easily modified to be taller.
