Important Note:
This knitting pattern for socks employs the toe-up method, featuring Judy’s Magic Cast-On technique (or the Turkish cast-on method if you prefer) for the toe, as well as the German short row technique for the heel. This innovative approach not only enhances the fit but also allows for a seamless knitting experience.
