Thesesocks are knit from the heel out, grafted together to make a tube, and then the toe and cuff are picked up and knit. No one believed me when they saw my project when I told them it was a sock. I felt the urge to sacrifice a chicken before grafting because I wasn’t sure it was going to work.

I would say Go Hawks! But it is not that kind of a season this season… 🫣😭

Huh, very interesting! Nice job! I’ve gotten sick of doing socks for the moment so I wonder if I should give these a shot.

I’m so intrigued by this pattern but tend to find shallower heel types to be tight and uncomfy so I stick with your typical heel flap and gusset most of the time. Still, one day I’ll probably give in, they sound so fun to knit!

The yarn makes them look extra wild, love it! And never be ashamed of your team, even if they are the accursed Seahawks (sorry not sorry, as a Packers fan I can’t let that one slide 😉)

These are really clever and came out great!! I might have to give them a go (and ignore all the other socks I’ve never finished…).

Where does the grafting happen? I’m reading through the pattern. I can’t picture it. Is it on the top where the foot meets the leg?

From ankle to toe down the center of the top of the foot
