Reading Room Socks
ABOUT
A sock inspired by jacquard weaving and classic academic fabrics, this design is worked cuff down with a heel flap and all over colourwork. Use two colours to create the stranded colourwork from charts. The heel flap texture is inspired by another woven fabric and is worked in one colour. The gusset decreases are on the bottom of the foot to maintain the colourwork motif.
