This pattern is part of my Sockalutions line. It contains 9 pages chock full of information including color coded charts, pictures of stitch patterns, tips, as well as easy to follow instructions.

Victoria’s Curves was inspired by that famous perfect hour glass figure that women strove for in the 1800 - early 1900’s. This sock design has it without those awful corsets that women wore to achieve their goal, the tiniest waist possible. Aren’t we glad for spandex!
The cuff was designed with a lace pattern to give you the look of the lace trimmings on corsets in order to give them that frilly feminine look. Had to do something to make women want to wear them. LOL

The heel is done in a slip stitch style giving it a ribbed look that’s known for adding strength where you need it.

Victoria’s Curves (VC) design was carried down the leg, top of the foot right to the toe. A change from the typical toe.

Best yet are the different solutions to choose from.

Cuff:
You have the option to use the lace pattern pictured or choose from one of the other 2 options, rib cuff or moc cable. Three different cuff solutions.

Heel:
Carry the VC design down the heel to show off with clogs, or choose from one of the other two options, slip stitch heel pattern or Eye of Partridge heel. Three different heel solutions.

Foot:
Knit the VC design down the top of the foot or just use a simple stockinette design. Two different solutions.

Toe:
For a fancy toe use the VC design or one of these two, wedge toe or star toe. Three different toe solutions.

The difficult part is deciding but think that with all these solutions you can knit many different styled socks from just one pattern.

Victoria’s Curves has a lot of extras such as tips, how to instructions that you can cut out and carry with you. You’ll like the color coded charts too for easier reading.
