Ocean waves and the mermaids who swim in them were the inspiration for these socks. This pattern is written cuff down with magic loop and a heel flap and gusset. Self striping yarn is a great choice to show off the gentile wave pattern.

Wave pattern has both charted and written instructions.

Unfortunately, the way Ravelry is set up, if you downloaded the pattern or free before July 4, 2024 you won’t receive pattern updates to see change in gauge and suggested needle size. Therfore, this is the only place I can update you to the changes made. I’m very sorry for any trouble this had caused.
Downloads after July 4, 2024 have this change.
