These socks are inspired by stitch patterns found on the traditional garments of the hard-working fisherfolk of the UK. They will be an elegant and subtle addition to anyone’s sock drawer.

Worked from the top down, these socks feature an intuitive stitch pattern worked around the leg and over the top of the foot. They are topped with 1x1 Rib and have a traditional heel turn and round toe. Worked in a discreet neutral, a contrasting color rib and toe would add a secret touch of pizzazz to socks that can be worn to the office. The Diamonds Allover Stitch pattern instructions are both written and charted.
