Lines Socks (Adult)
Enjoy a 30% discount on the Lines patterns, when buying at least two Lines patterns using code LINES_BUNDLE.
The Lines Socks are cuff-down socks with a short row heel. The toes are worked with decreases and the tip of the toe is grafted with the Kitchener Stitch. Cables are used to create smooth diagonal lines. The lines are continued until they meet in the middle of the instep.

A (B) C (D) E

16 (18) 20.5 (22) 25.5 cm / 6.25 (7) 8 (8.75) 10”
