Poet Socks

The Poet socks are knitted from the cuff down towards the toes. They are started with an optional tubular cast on which provides a stretchy edge to the cuff. The heel flaps are knitted with a reinforced stitch pattern for durability and the heels are round French heels. Instructions are given for modifying the gusset for a more generous fit.

The lace pattern of these socks is familiar from my most popular pattern, the Poet sweater that was published in Laine magazine issue 6. After all this time I still think it is the most beautiful stitch pattern I have ever knitted!
