These classic unisex socks are a great basic for the wardrobe. The three stripes, positioned just above the ankle, will be revealed when the wearer sits or cuffs their pants.
They are worked in the round on a set of double-pointed needles, beginning with the cuff.
There is subtle shaping along the leg to accommodate the calf.
The cuff, heel flap and toes are worked in a contrasting colour to match the stripes.
These socks require intermediate knitting skills.

Special thanks to:
Sue for modelling these socks and
Linda for sample knitting.
