This design reminds me of the embossed wallpaper that we had when I was growing up. Feeling the texture of the embossed relief was fascinating and fun to trace with my little chubby fingers.

The pin-stripe toe, gusset and cuff flow gently in and out of the pattern creating a cohesive looking sock. These socks are knit toe up with a heel flap and gusset.

The instructions for the construction of the socks are written and the colour work is both written and charted.
