Rivendell Socks combine an elegant lace motif with a comfortable, well-structured fit. Worked from the top down using the Magic Loop method, they feature a reinforced heel flap, gusset shaping, and a distinctive propeller toe.
Choose from three cuff options—3x3 ribbing, a folded hem, or a delicate picot hem—and adjust the leg and foot length for a personalised fit. Instructions are included for four sizes, with both written directions and a chart for the lace pattern.
