Thesesocks are knit from the heel out, grafted together to make a tube, and then the toe and cuff are picked up and knit. No one believed me when they saw my project when I told them it was a sock. I felt the urge to sacrifice a chicken before grafting because I wasn't sure it was going to work.

I would say Go Hawks! But it is not that kind of a season this season... 🫣😭

These are really clever and came out great!! I might have to give them a go (and ignore all the other socks I've never finished...).

Where does the grafting happen? I'm reading through the pattern. I can't picture it. Is it on the top where the foot meets the leg?

From ankle to toe down the center of the top of the foot
