Notes
It is important to check your gauge if you want the socks to fit. As these are toe up, you should also try them on as you go!
Your yarn choice needs to include NYLON for your socks to be durable.
Socks are worked from the toes up.
The Toe section is worked in continuous rounds. The Foot and Leg sections are crocheted with closed and turned rounds. The Border is worked in closed rounds.
Heel is an Afterthought heel.

FINISHING
Sew Heel opening closed. You can use the method of your choice for sewing.
I suggest the zipper or mattress stitch:
With WS facing, insert needle in back loop of first st from the outside in, then insert the needle in the back loop of the st opposite, also from the outside in.
Continue in this way on all the sts to be sewn, then gently pull on the yarn to remove the excess.
When you have finished the seam, cut yarn.
Weave all ends in.
Block lightly as desired.
