The Peggy socks are inspired by the strong and determined character named Peggy from the “Madmen” TV series. Peggy is such an inspirational female character and is a force to be reckoned with. The chevron stitch pattern represents Peggy’s style as she wears lots of geometric patterns and clean lines.

Instructions are included for both toe up and cuff down construction. The pattern uses a heel flap and gusset, and features an interesting chevron pattern on the front and a simple cable on back of the sock.
