The Linum Socks are worked from the cuff down, featuring a broken rib cuff, a textured heel flap, a gusset, and a wedge toe. A floral motif inspired by linen flowers runs down the outside of each sock. This motif is created by working bobbles, eyelets, and a stem while knitting the leg. The eyelets then serve as a guide for the embroidered petals, which are added after the socks are finished.
