Great hand-knit socks are one of life’s luxuries, and now you can take it up a notch with a pair perfectly tailored to your foot. Designed to hug every curve of your ankle and arch, these socks are fully modifiable and fit great--and less wiggle room means less friction, so they should last longer, too.

My formatting for Low Vision patterns follows the guidelines laid forth by the Accessible Patterns group here on Ravelry. Low Vision patterns are written in a sans-serif, black font in 24 point text. They do not contain italics. Images and charts have been enlarged. Additionally, my Low Vision patterns contain linking for ‘skipping around’ within the larger document, and are fully typed out without parentheses to make it easier on your screen reader. No charts are included with this pattern. Some of my LV patterns have been tested in more than one screen reader program.
