Mara socks
Discover the art of sock knitting with our detailed pattern that guides you through creating beautiful, comfortable socks from the cuff down to the toe. Start your project with the **Long-tail Tubular Cast-on** method to achieve a neat, professional-looking edge. Then, continue with **1x1 Ribbing** for a flexible cuff that hugs your ankle comfortably. The leg of the socks features an elegant **Lattice Stitch pattern**, adding both texture and visual appeal to your handmade creation.
For the heel, we recommend using the **Rosette Stitch pattern**, which offers a sturdy and durable structure while maintaining aesthetic charm. You'll master short rows to turn the heel, ensuring a perfect fit. After successfully decreasing stitches to form the gussets, you can return to your original stitch count and seamlessly transition into crafting the foot of the sock. Complete your project with one of our several options for the toe—choose from the **Short, Medium, or Long Sideways Toe** designs to best suit your preference.
