Designed for the October 2014 Sockdown in Sock Knitters Anonymous, theme “global”, to explore and reflect some of the characteristics of classic Fair isle knitting.

The actual design of the stranded portion is a result of research and simple doodling, something that I would everybody encourage to do…

There has been no test knitting apart from my own pair (in a size M), so beware that there may be mistakes that have slipped through the net - please let me now if you have found something that is wrong or if you have problems with any aspect of the pattern.

Errata:

Ignore the instructions to place markers for the gusset; they are not needed.
