A textured sock resembling the markings of the Fox Sparrow. These socks are knit from the cuff down and in the round. First, a 2x2 ribbing will be worked and a delicate lateral braid polishes the edge. The repeated pattern is worked around the circumference of the leg, followed by a short row heel that leads to a body of stockinette on the bottom of the foot. As the pattern ends at the toes, another lateral braid closes off the textured pattern, allowing for a classic toe construction to finish.
