Construction
These socks are knit from the top down with a slip stitch heel flap and square toe shaping. Instructions are included for modifying for large lower calves and ankles.

Gauge & Sizing
To determine which size to make, first measure around the widest part of your foot and do the size that gives you the closest to 0.5” / 1 cm of negative ease. If you have wide calves, measure your lower calf as well (about 5” / 12.5 cm above your ankle), and choose which size to make based off of that measurement.

There are only two stitch count instructions included, so the differences in size will be obtained by a difference in gauge. The corresponding gauge for each size will be listed below.

Introduction
Many people recognize the Mitsuuroko as the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda. This symbol makes up the main pattern in this sock design. The Mitsuuroko was the Hojo family symbol and can be found on many buildings and temples in Japan. Mitsuuroko translates to “three scales.” As the legend goes, Tokimasa Hojo prayed that his descendants would be prosperous. Then, the dragon god came and granted his request. When the dragon god left, he left behind three scales. The three triangles that make up the “Triforce” symbolize the three scales left behind, thus the name Mitsuuroko.
