I finished one sock with my Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in Carrick. I used the Widdershins pattern, modified slightly to fit my gauge and foot. It’s really super. I am not 100% happy with the toe that I used – I misread the directions and rather than increasing every row at first I increased every other, so it’s a little pointy. But I didn’t care enough to rip it out so away I go. I really love this reverse heel flap construction.
I used size 0’s for a nice firm fabric. 58 stitches around led to this gentle striping.

A toe up gusset-and-flap heel is my new favorite

Some ribbing at the top to keep it up

And the finished product

Now I just have to finish the second one!

Um, I have no idea why I ended up on this post, I clicked over from Blogines to the one with your finished coronet. I know those socks aren’t a hat. :)
