Bruised Orange

Introducing the "Angel from Montgomery" socks, named after my favorite John Prine song! This easy toe-up sock pattern features a unique Strong Heel construction that perfectly accommodates high arches. Unlike a standard short row heel, this method provides extra comfort and support, making it a favorite among knitters with similar foot shapes. The heel turn is designed to mimic a traditional flap heel sock, yet it eliminates the hassle of a heel flap or the need to pick up stitches, simplifying your knitting experience.

This pattern is beautifully versatile, as it's written in a needle-neutral format, allowing you to use your preferred sock knitting method—whether you favor double-pointed needles, circular needles, or magic loop technique. You'll find that this flexibility enhances your knitting experience, making it enjoyable regardless of your preferred style.

For the yarn, I recommend a fabulous substitute for the Shirley Brian Yak Sock used in the sample, ensuring that you achieve the same softness and durability. Get ready to create a pair of stunning socks that not only look great but also feel fantastic on your feet.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, the "Angel from Montgomery" socks are a must-try addition to your collection. Happy knitting!
