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. To assist you in mastering this technique, we've included comprehensive diagrams and a row-by-row description for creating a perfect heel. The recommended increases for this pattern are RLI (Right Lifted Increase) and LLI (Left Lifted Increase), both of which I highly encourage you to incorporate for optimal results.

MATERIALS:

• YARN: Choose a high-quality fingering weight yarn, with an estimated amount of 90-120 grams necessary for a complete pair of socks.
• 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.
