In the Park

This sock is a great easy textured design that is as easy to wear as it is to knit. Enjoy this relaxing knit sitting at home or out and about. The name is inspired by Jurassic Park because the two sock sets I used for the samples were inspired by the original movie.

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap and gusset. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be the back of foot/leg and heel. Sized from child to large adult these are perfect socks for the whole family.
