Dappled Deep socks were designed to let the beauty of speckled yarns shine. They are knit toe up, with a mini gusset leading into a shadow wrap short row heel and a fluid, lacy pattern on the instep, which is lovely but simple enough to show off your treasured speckled yarns. Designed to be ankle sock, they are easily extended to your preferred height. Pattern is written using magic loop but could be worked using any small circumference method.
