Birds of a Feather
Knit from the cuff down, these socks feature a simple, yet engaging lace pattern that soars down the leg and top of the foot reminiscent of a flock of birds. These socks shines when knit with both popular speckled and classic tonal colorways alike. Lace instructions are provided in both written and charted formats.
