Elvenpath is a sock pattern worked cuff down. The leg features a simple yet interesting texture pattern worked with slipped stitches. The foot is worked in plain stockinette, so the socks are great for wearing in shoes as well. The pattern has a french heel and gusset and a round toe. The instructions are written for magic loop technique on a long circular needle, but you can easily work them on dpns. The texture pattern is both written and charted, and there is a photo tutorial for the unusual stitch involved.
