Those of you who have read my profile know that I love horses. In fact, I’ve now been riding for almost 27 years and in all that time I had never heard of Prix Caprilli. I’m not entirely sure how I missed it, but basically it’s dressage with jumps in it - so you do a dressage test (the circles, etc) but also include some little jumps. When it came time to name these fun socks, the crossing back and forth and swirls in the middle reminded me of that. :)

These socks are worked top-down in a lacy-ribbed pattern that is very stretchy and works up quickly. They could easily be converted to toe-up and/or worked two-at-a-time.
