Transition Socks

The Transitions Socks combine vibrant, clean graphic colorwork with a comfortably snug fit, equally at home in city streets, train corridors and weekend trails. Inspired by simple colorwork motif with no long floats. This unisex design is meant to fly off the needles. These might just be the perfect colorwork Knitflix project. CONSTRUCTION The socks are worked cuff down with a peasant heel. The leg and foot feature simple colorwork with no long floats. The toes are shaped anatomically. The pattern includes instructions on how to work a **mini gusset** for the heel for a better fit. Note, the original socks don’t have mini gussets. The pattern is written for Magic Loop technique, but you can use DPNs.
