Bugi

Bugi socks are designed as shortie socks worked top-down, but the length of the leg is easily customizable. If you are like me, sharing a love for casual socks seasoned with a pinch of texture achieved just through increases and decreases, then Bugi socks is just the pattern for you! The pattern is suitable for advanced beginners. CONSTRUCTION Socks are knitted top-down (from cuff to toe) with a classic heel flap and gusset construction with textural instep.The cuff and leg are knit in the round, while the heel flap and heel turn are worked flat. Stitches are then picked up along the heel flap, and knitting continues in the round. After completing knitting the foot, you will work decreases to shape the toe, and, the remaining stitches are grafted together to finish.
