Kaye is worked in one piece from the cuff down to the wedge toe with a folded cuff and the shop-bought-like German short row heel.
In order to keep the socks from slipping down, the inside part of the folded cuff is narrower than the outside.
They are graded to fit three different foot circumferences with adjustable foot lengths.
