The sock is charted only, written instructions are very sparse. No yardage, suggested yarn, or needle size is given. Finished size is not listed either. The original socks are depicted, not a recently knit reconstruction.



From Ethnic Socks and Stockings:

"A synthetic yarn, much like the textured nylon of the 1950’s and 1960’s, was used in this pair of Turkish stockings. They are well crafted at a gauge of 9 stitches and 10 rows to the inch. The knitted used artistic license liberally (or had a highly developed sense of humor): the two stockings are clearly a pair but are not alike!"

There is an error: a step is left out of the heel instructions. See the errata link.
