These socks were designed for a “Pokémon connoisseur,“ and were named for an ice type with the help of my son. This pattern is for a cuff-down sock with stranded leg and foot bands. The band at the toe provides a little extra cushiness and warmth to the ball of the foot. The ribbed remainder of the sock provides some stretchiness to help ensure a great fit- perfect for gift knitting! Test knitters rated this an intermediate knit.
