Construction

These socks are worked from the toe up, with Integrated Heel construction. The Integrated Heel looks and fits similarly to the traditional heel flap and gusset, but is created mostly in the round. The instructions in this pattern are entirely sufficient to work the heel. However a more detailed tutorial on this method of construction can be found in my Basic Sock with Integrated Heel pattern. 



…….

This pattern includes both a chart and written instructions for working the lace.

Instructions are written for the Magic Loop method; however the pattern notes explain how to adapt to DPNs and short circulars.

Alternative toe and heel instructions are provided in the Appendix as an alternative to the Integrated Heel method for a slightly different look.
