The Dotty Socks are a fun sock knitted in three colours. They are worked in the round on double-pointed needles from the cuff down with a heel flap construction. Simple stranded colourwork in striped bands is featured on the leg and toe. The toe is closed using Kitchener stitch (grafting).

They require intermediate knitting skills.
