CONSTRUCTION
These colorwork socks are worked from the cuff down with an afterthought heel construction. The colorwork is charted. Leg and foot lengths are customizable; the heel may be completed before the foot and toe in order to achieve the correct foot length (note that adjustments in length will affect total yardage required). The toe stitches are grafted together.
