The V-Formation Socks Lite are ankle socks knit in the round from the toe up using fingering-weight yarn. This design features a repeating arrow lace design on the top of the foot (similar to the V-Formation Canada geese fly in when they migrate South for the winter, hence the name) that is charted and written.
These socks have a Turkish heel (which has a heel flap and turn but no gusset), and instructions for either a simple ribbed cuff, or a double-thick picot-edge cuff.

SIZES
Extra-Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large)/XS (S, M, L, XL) to fit foot circumference 6” (7”, 8”, 9”, 10”)/15 cm (18 cm, 20.5 cm, 23 cm, 25.5 cm), measured around the ball of the foot (the widest part). The length and height are adjustable. If you find that you are in-between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your socks to fit snug or the larger size if you like a loose fit.

YARN
Approximately 160 (200, 240, 280, 320) yards/146 (183, 220, 256, 292) meters fingering weight yarn, recommended in a blend of wool (for warmth) and nylon (for added strength and durability)
