These socks are based on our favorite sock recipe, and one day, partly inspired by the wild color scheme my husband chose for a new pair of socks, I threw caution to the wind because I wanted to know what would happen if I tried a contrasting heel color on the Fleegle heel. What it turned into was an upside-down triangle of color right on the back of the heel, and it reminded me of a caution sign! And thus, the Safety Third Socks were born! It combines a toe made with Judy's Magic Cast-On and a simple Fleegle heel that doesn't require any picking up of stitches or grafting, making it a quick, easy, and satisfying knit. Pattern includes tips on shaping for larger calves. 

Yarn: any sock yarn with at least 400 yards in a 100g skein.

Needles: US1.5 (2.5mm) the pattern is designed for double pointed needles with guidance on converting to magic loop.
