Newarthill: all-over texture with reinforced heels, soles and toes

An all-over textured fabric that really shows off all sorts of yarn, whether it’s a plain colour, self-striping or variegated, it will look fabulous. They are knitted top-down with a ‘strong’ type of heel, and uses seed stitch for the leg and top of the foot, and a reinforcing partridge stitch for the heel, sole and toe. This results in a harder-wearing sock, less likely to wear through, and a lovely comfortable feel. 3 women’s sizes are given, and the Wee Duchess provides many hints and tips as you work.
