This versatile sock pattern features a cuff circumference of 5.75 (6.5, 7.25, 8, 8.75) inches, accommodating a wide range of sizes. It includes three unique knitting options to cater to your preference: 1. A top-down construction with a classic heel flap, designed to be worked in one colour for a traditional look. 2. A top-down option featuring a short row heel, which can be knit in one or two colours. This innovative short row heel is worked over more than half the stitches, providing a better fit for knitters with higher insteps. 3. A toe-up construction with a short row heel, worked in one or two colours as well. This method maintains a more traditional short row heel fit by utilizing half the stitches.

With these options and the added convenience of video tutorials, this sock pattern is suitable for beginner sock knitters and seasoned crafters alike. Stay warm and stylish on all your outdoor adventures – it’s time to get knitting!
