Land of Beauty socks have a tall ribbed cuff and a bit of colourwork both on the leg and before the toes. The socks are knit cuff-down and feature a heelflap and gusset. The yarn used in the pattern is a 100 % wool yarn spun to be durable on socks as well. Note, that due to the yarn the gauge is purposefully tight so be sure to choose a small enough needle. The pattern is written for magic loop, but can be worked with dpns as well.
