Socks inspired by the Downton Abbey television series, plus the colors in “Christmas at Downton”, the Lorna’s Laces Limited Edition colorway for December 2012.

These socks are knit from the top down with a patterned heel flap. The stitch pattern was chosen for its genteel appearance and adapted from a Japanese pattern book.
