The cuffs feature a simple stranded colourwork pattern and the contrast colour is used for both heels and toes for a classic boot sock look. The pattern is written in two lengths, with calf shaping on the longer length. Extra squishy heels are worked in a traditional heel stitch pattern combining short row shaping and a gusset for a better fit, especially for high insteps. Hugni is worked from the top down and is given in three sizes.
When swatching, check that your stranded colourwork gauge doesn’t pull in, you may need to use a larger needle for those rnds.
Directions are given to place markers to mark the end of rnd and shaping points. You may prefer to rearrange the stitches so that these points are marked by the gap between needles.
