A delicately patterned sock that uses short rows to create the toe and heel.
A gusset has been added also at the instep as I find that socks with a gusset have a better fit. If in doubt about size drop down to the finished circumference just smaller than your foot circumference. Socks fit nicely with a little negative ease so they are not baggy. Adjust the foot length to fit your actual length for a good fit.
