These kilt socks are very versatile and the pattern could be knitted in any Aran-weight yarn. Why not make a pair in cotton for the summer?

They are knee high, ribbed socks that are bound off with the larger needle.

If you have the UK version of the book with the missing special abbreviations, here are the two that are missing for this pattern:

With front being outside, back being inside.
P2left - purl into back of second stitch, purl into back of first stitch, slip both stitches off needle
P2right - purl into front of 2nd stitch, purl into front of 1st stitch, slip both stitches off the needle

(They create a two stitch twist on the outside of the cuff.)
