Shoal Socks are worked in rounds from toe to cuff, with a boomerang heel. The heel is knitted using the Wrap and Turn method.
The pattern includes instructions for knitting a few variants of the instep, foot length and circumference of the leg part, thanks to which everyone can adjust the shape of the socks perfectly to themselves.
The two-color motif is created by changing the color of the yarn every two rounds and using a combination of knit stitches and slipped stitches.

The pattern includes fully written out instructions as well as charted ones for fish motifs. You will also find a tutorial on how to make a heel. The pattern also includes information on how to adapt the pattern to another gauge.
