LIMA SOCKS

CONSTRUCTION: The Lima Socks are knitted top-down. After the cuff, the leg is worked in pattern. This is followed by the reinforced heel flap and the heel turn. Then, the gusset is knitted before the pattern continues over the entire foot to the toe. The toe is shaped with decreases and then closed with the Kitchener stitch.
