These socks are primarily worked in garter stitch using two contrasting colors, with ingenious travelling stitches that create a beautiful argyle-inspired surface pattern. The toe, sole, and heel are expertly crafted using slipped stitches, resulting in a soft, thick fabric that provides delicious warmth for your feet.
This engaging pattern guides you through the process from the top down, featuring a classic heel flap and a rounded toe for a snug fit. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you'll enjoy creating these unique socks that are perfect for personal use or as thoughtful handmade gifts.
