Man, Woman, or Child...these socks are for us all! These innovative low-cut socks expose a deeper, curved portion of the top of the foot and the ankle. This is why they look much more flattering on all sizes of ankles, since they do not visually cut the foot off horizontally, like most other hand-knit short socks. Because of the lower “décolleté” at the top section, they also have the advantage of being completely hidden when worn in shoes - making them the perfect secret ally in winter, keeping toes and feet still toasty warm without compromising style or the ubiquitous “no-sock” trend.
In this pattern a toe up construction with a gusseted heel is used: This method provides a good fit and the ability to check the length of the sock quickly and easily during knitting. It also presents the advantage of using up different bits of yarn; just weigh them first and half the amount to use in each sock!
Depending on if and how you intend to use 2 or more colors the amount for each color might be different. As a reference: Half of the total yarn amount was needed for both MC and CC in the pictured bi-colored models with MC heel.Different photo-tutorials are included, which explain some new way to work symmetric decreases at the heel.
