Migration is inspired by, obviously, the Vs of birds every autumn that wing their way south. The sides of the socks have the V-shape, but the front and back are covered with lacy vines reminiscent of the bare branches at the end of autumn that cover the forest floor where I live.

It is knitted cuff - down with a wedge heel expansion and decreases on the sole of the foot. No picking up stitches needed!
