Worsted Weight Cuff-Down Socks Knitting Pattern

Discover the joy of knitting with this easy-to-follow pattern for cozy cuff-down socks that are perfect for chilly days! These socks are worked from the cuff down, making it simple to customize the length for your perfect fit. The heel is crafted using a traditional heel flap, and the heel turn is achieved through short-row shaping, ensuring a comfortable and snug fit. Finish off your socks beautifully by grafting the toe together using the popular Kitchener stitch technique.
