The same yarn as for Julia's socks, but a different working. These are knit toe-up and I tried the conventional German heel with gusset and a 'normal turned' heel-cap.
It worked well. For the cuffs I picked up 30 stitches and knit them on sideways in garter stitch. I joined the start and end row with the garter stitch variant of kitchener.
To make the stripes more interesting, I lifted stitches where different colours met. I called this stitch 'rabbit ears' when I was young. My Grandma had knit a yellow-beige striped sweater for me in this stitch. My Sis had such a sweater, too, but hers was all different colours of the rainbow.
