Faux fair isle in a self patterning yarn on a silver ground. Like ancient tile work from old Byzantium

The ankle and instep motifs come from Anatolia with a simple diamond grid accent on the heel and sole.

The trim at the top of the ankle is 1 row of bobbles - just enough for interest but not so many as to drive you crazy.

Pattern is now a Ravelry download.
