WORKFLOW
Sipoo Socks are worked cuff down with a reinforced heel flap and gusset. They feature all-over colorwork that can be worked as a two- or three-color colorwork. The leg as well as the foot have two length options. The gusset decreases are on the sole of the sock to preserve the continuity of the colorwork motif. The toe is finished with a seamless graft using the Kitchener Stitch.
