Stripes on Folded Cuff Socks
Hello! I'm new to the forum. I've searched all over the internet to find the answer to this question to no avail.

I'm knitting baby socks (Figheadh Yarnworks pattern 2233) in which the sock cuff (k1p1 rib) gets folded over at the end, essentially making the outside become the inside for that part. I wanted to add stripes for my niece's pair, but I'm not sure how to carry up the yarn. If I carry it up in the back, it'll show on the front when I fold it over. Is there a way to carry up the yarn in the front so that it doesn't show when folded?


Thanks!!

Just reverse it so you're purling at the top so the v part of the stockinette will show. Or you could just make the top solid and continue. The purl bumps will show, but won't matter.
