The stitch pattern is a very simple lace pattern of alternating K2tog and SSK forming the droplets. Twisted stitch ribbing creates defined “rivulets” between the droplets. The droplets begin as small “beads” at the top of the cuff and turn into longer droplets towards the toes.

The sock is constructed top down. Customise the sock according to your preference with your favourite heel and toe construction! The length can easily be altered by knitting more or less repeats of the pattern, and smaller than average feet should be able to achieve a good fit by using slightly smaller needles (2.25mm).
