I finished the first of my Christmas socks. There is a band all the way along the leg and foot –
R1: P1, (Slip 1 knitwise, YO, PSSO, P1) 3 times
R2:P1(K2, P1) 3 times
The yarn is from West Yorkshire Spinners (colourway Nutcracker). Usual needles (2.25mm).
The heel flap uses the same stitch pattern as the band (except R2 is reversed K1 (P2, K1) 3 times
