From pattern description:
“Knit from the heel down, with twisted ribbing at the cuff, a twisted diamond pattern for the leg and instep, and designed by Candace Eisner Strick.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006:
“Small and bright, clean and white, these Edelweiss socks get a shot of two-toned color at the twisted-rib cuff, stockinette toe and slip-stitch heel. They’re plied top-down in ‘4Fadig’ by Regia/Coats & Clark, with a zigzag and broken-rib pattern gracing the leg.”
