These unisex socks, available in 3 sizes, are knit from the cuff down to the toes. They feature a flap heel and a wide toe. There is a wide ribbing at the cuff. The leg of the sock features textured knit/purl stitches in several patterns reminiscent of the petroglyphs found decorating rocks and canyon walls here in the southwest. The sample is shown in size 7 3/4”.

You will need approximately 375 (425, 475) yards of a fingering weight yarn with a firm twist to knit these socks.

Inspired by the vast array of images found at Petroglyph National Monument, just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
