CONSTRUCTION
These socks are worked from the cuff down with a heel flap and gusset to make a generous heel. Both the length of the leg and the foot can easily be adjusted. The pattern is written for magic-loop, but you can work them on double pointed needles by distributing your pattern repeats (each repeat is 8 sts) across 3 or 4 needles.
For the pattern to really stand out I recommend the following: A solid-coloured yarn in a light to mid shade if making a single-coloured sock. If you want to make a two-coloured sock, then choose very contrasting colours with no colours in common and use the light/bright shade for the MC as this creates the waveform pattern.
