These socks look ordinary socks, but its heels are using wool double. Therefore it's strong, still fit and no sagging around the ankles. Ideal for people who move around or walks all over even in cold frosty day.
Such a good idea, my hubby's socks always are soggy. I knitted them and used socks yarn with 2mm needles. Knit repeats K1, SL1 on RS row of the heel, become so hard, my favorites wooden needle BROKE.. You see, you use stainless needle than wood or bamboo for knitting heel parts with double wool.
I didn't double the toes.
The pattern is from family knitting book of 1930s. I think, heel decreasing point have mistake. Anyways, knit it with your own way.
編み図は1930年代の家族の編み物からです。かかとの減目が間違っているように感じるので、通常通りご自身のいつものやり方でやってください、中心に19目残ればよいのです。
