Introverts Party Sock KAL Part 1

This is a free KAL for a toe-up sock with a plain foot, pattern leg and a short row heel. Contrast yarn is used for the heel to keep the stripes uninterrupted. Alternative heels: fish lips kiss and afterthought would also work. If doing contrast heel/toe/cuff allow 15g contrast yarn.

Gauge: 32 stitches x 44 rows = 10cm/4” in stocking stitch, blocked
