The STYXheel socks are a so called multi-pattern, because you will get 4 PDFs that provide interchangeable sections so that you can make your own customisation in fit & style for an array of sizes, depending on the wearer's anatomy and needs..
Choose between several looks and styles which can be used with two versions of the innovative STYX heel. The main idea of the STYX heel is to provide a shape that fits better, by changing the standard short row method into something that can be customised for various heel types. This is done by treating sections of the heel differently: By working the two halves in different ratios, one creates a curved line along the usual "seam" which forms a more anatomical shape, hugging the heel better than traditional short rows do. |
The pattern is available in the form of digital PDF files in English, French and Italian.

For a more flattering fit on various shapes and width of feet, the pattern offers two heel constructions to choose from: The Styx classic and the Styx high arches heel (found in a separate PDF of this multi-pattern). Both are quickly interchangeable for all sizes in this pattern, as everything is described in detail.
Here a toe up construction with a gusset is used: This method provides a good fit and the ability to check the length of the sock quickly and easily during knitting.
It also presents the advantage of using up different bits of yarn; just weigh them first and halve the amount to use in each sock!

All variants also offer the possibility to choose in between two options in relation to colour choices on toe, heel and cuff and each option is described in detail in the instructions.
The option for a cute, asymmetrical cuff, finished with a decorative crochet bind off and a whimsical little bow to the side of each sock is given in PDF B.
Different photo-tutorials are included, which explain some new way to work smooth, symmetric decreases at the heel.
All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials.
