Thank you so much! Please share pictures of your finished socks!
My (adult) son think he wants cotton socks. I really like the look of these and the pattern, but I wondered if you have ever done them in cotton, and if so what kind of cotton yarn you would use.
Cotton will stretch out a lot; I'd use Berroco comfort or cascade fixation (this has elastic in it). I'd really try to find something he likes with wool in it instead of cotton.
I am having a problem turning the heel. Are the directions correct?
