These Christmas socks are knitted from the top-down like “ordinary” socks. However, the ribs, heel, and toe have been knitted in garter stitch with the largest needles to exaggerate the model’s attributes and give them a cartoonish look. Once you’ve knitted a pair, the two socks are tied together with an i-cord.
