Towser socks
The diamond shaped pattern in these socks reminds me of Scotland. The name of the socks derives from the peculiar Westie with the same name in the lovable television series Hamish Macbeth.
The pattern is completely charted for every size.
The socks are worked cuff down and they have French heel.
