Shortie socks are not just for the Summer! Wear these at any time of the year, choosing your favourite cuff to match your style. Perfect for leftover yarn, these socks are quick enough to knit for you to have a pair for every occasion!

The Basic Shortie socks are constructed as top down socks with a heel flap and gusset, and an option of 5 different cuffs. The heel is knitted in heel stitch which creates a durable, cushioned heel. One size is given, but there is a link to detailed instructions and a video for adjusting to any size that you need.

This pattern can be used on its own or in conjunction with the Winwick Mum Sockalong tutorials which are available for free here: https://bit.ly/Sockalong which makes them an ideal knit for beginners.
