A simple Nordic stitch pattern has been used for these socks, which are knitted from the top down using soft red and cream shades of a sportweight sock yarn. The socks have got triangular heel and symmetrical flat toe construction which doesn’t require grafting. The pattern comes in two different foot widths and ankle lengths.
