This sock pattern really speaks to my soul! I think that I’ve avoided designing socks with too much leg detail because I thought that they would always be covered by the bottom of my pants. How wrong was I!? A beautiful sock peaking out from between your shoes and pant cuff is such a sweet detail. Or layer these socks over tights or leggings. The Flair Isle Socks are guaranteed to add instant style to any outfit.

Pattern is written for cuff down with a short row heel using magic loop.
