11-154 His Favourite Flying V Socks
The Flying V formation gives just a touch of “special” to these otherwise plain cuff-down socks ~ a perfect solution for that “no fuss” sock wearer; traditional slip-stitch heel; Stockinette foot with wide toe. A generous 6 sizes from Women’s Small to Men’s Large are included as well as a picture tutorial for the Estonian Cast-On -- our favourite cast on for a stretchy cuff.
