The Sardaukar were the Emperor’s elite forces. Reared on the Corrino prison planet Salusa Secundus , it was said that six out of thirteen boys would die before age 11. They were trained to be cunning and intense fighters. Emperor Corrino loaned the Harkonnens his Sardaukar troops to annihilate the Atreides on Arakis. They typically wore grey and black uniforms, the new movie showed the troops with 3 fingers of blood smeared on the front, which you can depict with duplicate stitch. These socks are worked top down in a simple textured pattern to resemble military padded uniforms, sock is worked with a Dutch heel and garter toe to look like a military boot. Sock is worked inside out and flipped to right side to avoid a lot of purling, resulting in a princess heel.
