Construction notes: These socks are worked from the toe up using Judy’s Magic cast-on. The toe is shaped with lifted increases placed at the sides.

Gusset increases are worked along the sole rather than the sides. The heel base is shaped with short rows, followed by a slip-stitch heel flap worked back and forth.

The leg is worked to the desired length, then finished with a sideways cuff knitted flat, featuring a lace pattern and garter rib. The cuff is joined simultaneously to the live leg stitches as it is worked, then seamed to connect at the end.
