Inspired by the breathtaking views at the cliff’s edge of Dún Aonghasa on Inis Mór. The Dún Aonghasa Socks feature a color pallet that reflects the landscape of the limestones and lichen on the cliffs, and the sea below the fort.

The socks are worked cuff-down, and feature a band of stranded colorwork around the calf/ankle. After the colorwork, ribbing adds texture to the ankle and foot of the sock. The heel construction is flap and gusset and the heel is framed by two columns of garter stitch.

They pattern includes the sizes Adult Small, Medium, & Large/XL.
