This is a fun project for light weight but still useable socks. The drop sts result in an airy mesh pattern which is knitted as a tube. The fabric is stretchy, so the sock adapts well to the foot.
The pattern is given for a bigger size, but there is a hint given on how to tailor for your needs. All kind of 4ply sock yarns can be used, but in general all kind of yarns can be used without much limitation (of course the tension changes and you need to cast on a different st number)
