And there’s already an erratum!
The original pattern’s Round 2 included a YO. This was an error.

The revised line: Rnd 2: k6, p2, k16, p2, k6 k to end.

An update was issued. Patterns downloaded the evening of 11/22/19 and later should be correct. Many thanks to lavendelkitten for pointing this out!

These cuff-down socks use a simple two row repeat to create a chevron down the front of the leg and foot. The sample shown is between 8”-8.5” in circumference and required far less than a 440-yd ball of Saki Silk.

ABOUT THE NAME
These socks were inspired by a trip to Caswell Beach on the North Carolina Coast during turtle hatching season. During the summer, baby turtles dig upward from the nest and crawl straight toward the sea. Their tiny flippers make tracks resembling the angled path on the front of these socks. May they lead you unerringly home!
