The Atrium socks are worked from the
cuff down. The socks begin with an
optional Tubular Cast-On for a clean,
elastic edge. Reinforced heel flaps
and round French heels ensure durability and a
comfortable fit, and instructions for adjusting the
gusset allow a slightly roomier shape if desired.
The design combines easy cable detail with
practical construction for a classic, wearable sock.
