According to an online Latin dictionary, a Basilium is a royal or princely ornament, or crown. What better way to ornament your feet than with golden crowns knit from uber-soft superwash Merino sock yarn. A lovely lace-and-bias cuff, sweet eyelets along the leg and foot, and ridged accents across the heel and toe make this a princely sock for anyone you wish to treat.
