Worked from the cuff down, these mid-calf socks feature a lace and cable panel on the front and the back. When the desired length to heel is reached, you work a traditional heel flap in Eye of Partridge stitch which shows off this lovely yarn. After the heel turn the gusset is decreased to the same width as for the leg and then worked straight to the toe, which is grafted closed.
