Construction notes: These socks start from the toe using Judy’s Magic cast-on. We shape the toe with lifted increases. When we reach the instep, the contrast colour is joined and we follow the colourwork chart. Rather than the sides, we place the gusset increases at the bottom of the sole. We shape the bottom of the heel using short rows, then a slip-stitch heel flap is worked back and forth in the main colour. We follow the colourwork chart again for the leg until we reach the preferred length and finish with a 1x1 twisted rib and Tubular bind-off.
