Sunday Sock
Sunday Sock is an addicted project over 60 sts and is all about colors and symmetric shapes. You work toe-up which means that you can end whenever you like.
By using the afterthought heel you avoid interrupting the rhythm. You just mark out the perfect spot for a heel and then continue the pattern to preferred leg length. Then go back and finish the heel.
The width is not adjustable regarding number of stitches but can be modified by choice of yarn and needles.
You will use both charts and written instructions to guide you through the project.
