Are you ready for another installment of "Heels & Toes"? On these socks, I went back to a very basic sock using a 2x2 rib. When it came time to do the heel, I adjusted some of the stitches so I could continue the rib patterning down the heel flap.
You can't tell it in this photo, but these are very large socks. Very. Large. Since I had two 100 gr skeins of this yarn, I made these socks as large as I dared. I used just a wee bit of yarn out of the second skein to finish up to toe on the second sock.
I dug out the crochet hooks and a bit of acrylic yarn and whipped out these two crocheted balls. Baby toys or cat toys, your choice. Then I whipped up a quick tutorial for you too. You can find it by clicking on the link or photo or the FREEBIES page at the top of this blog. It takes just a bit of yarn, time and polyester stuffing.

The socks are great, as are the heels. Did you do a plain heel turn?
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the sock yarn specifics?
Your socks look great. Thank you for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteVery cool socks. Great detail you put in there!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we were neighbors so I could coax you into helping me learn to knit socks! I have sock yarn, the needles I need, but I just need the nerve!
