These textured socks are knitted top-down with one color of fingering weight sock yarn like West Wool HEX. The twisted rib cuff flows into a gather smock stitch for the leg and foot. The smocked stitches also continue into the Heel Flap. Instructions include photos and video tutorials to assist with the smock technique. Customize the size of the leg and foot by working more repeats for a long length or stop early for a shorter leg and foot length.
