These cozy Sheep Pattern Socks are knitted using a combination of classic stockinette stitch, stranded colorwork, and interesting shaping techniques. The design features two less common methods: a Japanese short-row heel (boomerang heel) and a Snail toe, both of which provide an excellent fit and a neat, well-shaped finish. Small amounts of leftover yarn can be used for the colorwork motif, allowing you to experiment with color combinations and create a truly unique pair of socks. This makes the project both practical and perfect for creative knitting. Источник: https://knitt.fun/cozy-sheep-pattern-socks-knit-with-needles Read more:

Socks with an afterthought heel differ from traditional sock construction in that they are worked entirely in the round. In most cases, the heel is knitted last, after the main body of the sock is complete. That is why it is called an “afterthought” heel. The heel is usually worked using waste yarn or additional cast-on stitches, which may be created with either a provisional or standard cast-on. Both methods are discussed in this article. The afterthought heel is also known as a replaceable heel, removable heel, or “grandmother’s heel.” Thanks to the well-known knitter Elizabeth Zimmermann, it became widely known as the afterthought heel.   Read more

I would like to show you how to knit toe-up socks from self-striping yarn using an additional cast-on for the heel. A single 50 g skein of self-striping yarn is enough to make a stylish pair of short socks knitted from the toe up. This tutorial is suitable for knitting children’s and women’s socks up to EU size 39. Toe-up knitting allows you to use all the yarn without leftovers and avoids complicated calculations for the leg length, where even a small mistake may leave you without enough yarn to finish the project. Knitting two socks at the same time on long circular needles significantly speeds up the process. In addition, the heel worked with an additional cast-on in the round helps preserve the beautiful color sequence of the self-striping yarn.   Read more
