Small diamonds grace the ankle and run down the top of foot in these luxurious cashmere-wool blend socks. An easy-to-memorize overlay stitch pattern creates the diamond texture on the outside, while leaving the inside of the sock as-smooth-as-can-be. You deserve the very best-make yourself a pair!

Ribbing is worked back and forth in turned rows and slip stitched to form a tube, stitches are then worked into the bottom edge of the ribbing and remainder of sock is worked top-down. Ankle is worked in the round, then a heel flap is worked in turned rows, after turning the heel, stitches are picked up along edge of heel flap and continued in the round, decreasing along sides to form the gusset and ending at toe.

Choose a size that measures about .751” smaller than foot circumference for best fit. Length of leg and foot is easily customizable- finished length of sock should measure about 1” shorter than foot length for best fit.
