These ankle socks are worked from the top down and incorporate different lace and cable
stitches which are mirrored on each sock. They use a traditional gusset and heel flap
featuring the Eye of Partridge stitch, which I love to use with subtley varigated hand dyed
yarns. There are four sizes to fit foot circumference 20 (22, 25, 27)cm / 7¾ (8¾, 9¾, 10¾)in.
