I plan to make a backwards heel flap like in the Widdershins pattern.
I wanted to use the Widdershins pattern but I find that I always need to redesign socks because I have very small feet and Mein Gummibaer has large feet and I insist on a perfect fit. I don't like changing needle sizes because I think the yarn works best at a specific gauge. I always have a set idea of how I want my socks to be so I end up putting together my own patterns. MG has chosen the yarn for these socks and this cable pattern. I named them smoke ring socks because of their smoky blue/gray color and because I think the cables look kind of like smoke rings. It makes me think of Bilbo Baggins from the Tolkien stories. I imagine he had hand made socks for all of his travels!
