Whether underfoot or holding up the roof of a cathedral, arches keep things supported. In Roman architecture, the keystone locks the arch together and holds everything up. This subtly-supportive sock design conforms to the foot with easy 3x1 ribbing on top and a bit of shaping underfoot. It’s all uncomplicated enough to let even complex colorways sing!

Size Small (60 sts): 7.5” (19cm) foot circumference: 250 yards (each additional 1”/2.5cm of cuff length would require approx. 10 additional yards per pair).

Size Medium (68 sts): 8.5” (21.5cm) foot circumference: 300 yards (each additional 1”/2.5cm of cuff length would require approx. 11 additional yards per pair).
