Sue's Boxes with a Twist socks
Box’s with a Twist toe-up socks, an easy Fair Isle design that ends with a twist in the cuff. Variation on Bosnian toe cast on. Clear instructions and pictures will guide you through the pattern, with suggestions and website references for techniques like Provisional Cast on Short Rows, and Russian Join. Learn some new and useful techniques. Try it with a different colour for every design row, great for stash busting. Make a sock that will fit you or a loved one perfectly. Would look awesome in blue and silver grey for men!
Difficulty Rating: Average skill level!
Custom fit: Start with an outline of your foot and custom fit them. The nice thing about these socks is you can size them to fit any foot. Just try them on as you go. As long as your number of stitches is divisible by 4 they can be sized to any adult foot. The short row heel once you see the basic technique, it is easy to adjust for size. All the stitch numbers are merely suggested counts. So you can make these for anyone!
Difficulty Rating: Easy, good first project for this technique!
