Techniques
Socks are knitted cuff-down using the Magic Loop technique.
The Kuusikko pattern on the legs is knitted with smaller needles and long stitches using stranded colorwork.
Floats in the colorwork are secured using the ladder-back jacquard technique.
Trunks are crocheted onto the work using the Vertical Plaid knitting technique before knitting the heel.
The socks feature a Dutch heel and a seamless star decrease at the toe.
