One of the best things about knitting my own socks is I can customize them to fit my feet! Having explored many ways of shaping the toes I decided to look at different heel turns, for a sock with a heel flap, and find out which one works best for me. Shown in several variations of a “plain vanilla” sock with contrast-colored cuffs, toes and heels.

Needles: US Size 1 (2.25mm) circular or dpn needles for preferred method of knitting in the round.

Notions: Stitch markers, large eyed tapestry needle
Gauge: 32 sts and 36 rows = 4” 10cm

Worked Top Cuff Down
All variations have a heel flap
CC can be used for part of the leg/foot to match stripes when using leftover yarns
