These socks are exceptionally practical with their ribbed design, but with a bit of fun on the foot. The ribbed stitches come to a point in a design that is both delicate and sturdy. Knit from the top down, with a slipped-stitch heel flap, the design decreases after the gusset with a few plain rounds before the toe. The design suits a solid or semi-solid yarn, including speckle colourways.
