This is a wonderfully fun sock pattern to knit up. Mahalle (ma-ha-lay) means neighborhood in Turkish. This is a Top Down version of the traditional Toe Up sock which has been knit in Turkish families for generations.

The sock starts in the round with a 2×2 rib cuff. The leg is then worked to the heel flap, which is worked flat with decreased vertical sides, so it snuggly fits around the wearers heel. The foot is then worked again in the round to the flat toe box decreases, and the tip of the toe is grafted together using Kitchener Stitch and working yarn.

The Mahalle Sock Pattern byUrth Yarns is designed to highlight the unique characteristics of Uneek Fingering Yarn, knit using 1 skein in the stockinette stitch.

This hand-dyed, machine washable, extrafine merino yarn does all of the hard work, making this an easy project.
