Discover our beautifully crafted socks featuring a ribbed heel, a popular variant designed for durability and style. This pattern is ideal for those at an intermediate to experienced crochet level, providing a rewarding challenge that enhances your skills.
The intricacies of this pattern lie in the detailed construction of the ribbed heel, which involves both increases and decreases.

MATERIALS:

- NEEDLES: One set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in US size 2.5 or 3.0 mm is required to mold your creation effectively.
- TAPESTRY NEEDLE: A tapestry needle will be essential for weaving in those pesky ends, ensuring a neat finish.
