This pattern includes instructions for both a toe-up and top-down fingering weight shortie sock with a Shadow Wrap Heel. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel. (If you have larger calves and are knitting tall socks crew, not shorties, go up a needle size for the cuff, noted below on both versions.)

This sock was designed to use your funky yarns to add a bit of pop to your sock collection. I designed them to be shortie socks to go with my sneakers in the spring/summer months, but feel free to make a taller sock, with the same cuff detail. They would look fantastic peeking out of boots on dreary winter days.
