GAUGE

NOTE

These socks are knit from the cuff down using the Integrated Heel developed by Ailbíona McLochlainn. After working the leg, you will increase stitches on either side of the sock to create a gusset. The heel turn is worked with short rows while simultaneously decreasing the gusset stitches. The rest of the foot is worked in the round to the toe. Decreases are made on either side of the toe and the remaining stitches are grafted together with the Kitchener stitch.

ENJOY! ♥
