The pattern calls for Worsted weight yarn so I used two strands of Cascade Heritage Sock Yarn in Placid Blue held together throughout.

I have rediscovered the joy of turning a heel with a cuff-down sock.

Love this free pattern from Tin Can Knits - thank you. The detail on the front panel gives just enough variety to make this a really quick and interesting pattern to knit up. It also makes counting to get the second sock identical, really simple - win, win!

These were for my nephew Rufus, who is a wonderful 17 year old - he chose the colour himself, which, as he is a Watford supporter, came as a bit of a surprise.
