SIZE

The pattern provides calculation and description of work for a pair of socks to fit the feet of an adult female with not very high bridges - size range 36-42 (23-26.5 cm foot length).

Thanks to peculiar crochet technique of turning rows the socks will be elastic, but when stretched they still do not lose their original shape. Ergonomic design of the socks guarantees the perfect fit.
Each sock is made in one piece using turning rows, starting from the side. You shall gradually work on the heel without breaking thread. At the end you will join the starting and the final rows using the crochet hook.
