Vice Versa Socks

Though they begin in a familiar way, these are not your typical toe-up socks. The feet are worked on the bias; then short-row wedges and a heel flip the bias to the opposite direction for the leg. Self-striping and variegated yarns work very well to showcase the unusual construction in this pattern.

  2. These are pretty amazing, I wonder how it feels to wear them though since they are on the bias

  3. Socks are the arbiter between our feet and our shoes. So even before our perspiration trickles over to the opposite side and actuates the cycle for bacterial development, which ultimately prompts foot scent, socks act a catch bowl as it ingests sweat from our feet. socks India

  9. The construction of these socks is such a cool twist on something so familiar. I really like how the bias changes direction with the short rows and heel—it gives the finished pair such an interesting look. Self-striping yarn must make that effect even more fun to see come together. It reminds me of the unexpected details you get with something like a ​liu jo dubai​ : familiar at first, but with a little extra character once you look closer.

  10. I really like how this pattern takes a familiar toe-up sock idea and gives it a completely different twist. Working the feet on the bias and then using short-row wedges to change the direction sounds both clever and fun to knit. It’s also a great reminder that Frisco TX Professional Salon Services can add an interesting element to a creative design without taking away from its practical side. Self-striping yarn would make those construction changes especially fun to watch come together.
