A sock typically includes:
- Cuff – stretchy ribbing that holds the sock up.
- Leg – the portion above the ankle.
- Heel flap & turn – where the sock bends around your heel.
- Gusset – connects the heel to the foot.
- Foot – from gusset to toe.
- Toe – shaped to taper and closed with grafting or cinching.
Knowing the structure helps you read patterns and fix errors confidently.
