Description

Method: These stranded colorwork socks are knit in the round from the cuff down with a round heel and gusset decreases placed on the sole placement of the heel.

These socks can be knitted on dpns, by magic loop, or on a short circular (in which case you will still need dpns for the heel and toe decreases).
