  • Simple socks ; interchangeable cuffs

    Here are the simple socks from yesterday's post with an interchangeable cuff.  I crocheted a chain of that vibrant wool and then did two rows of solomon knots.  I tie it on the ankle: the sock was started at the ankle without any cuff.  Have not decided yet if I will make the second cuff in this wool a match or not.  Likely not.  Will know when I pick up the fibre …

    Here is the sock wool knit into a K2 P2 rib for a couple of inches and then I increased one in each stitch, continued in the rib which was now a K4 P4 rib, cast off after three or four rows.  The ruff edge can be worn toward the foot as shown or upward toward the leg.  (This technique might work nicely on a cowl)
