Ryde Socks are knit in the round from the cuff down using the magic loop method. They feature an easy to memorise, textured purl stitch motif around the leg. Two options are given for the heel: the traditional slipped stich heel and the ‘Eye of the Partridge’ heel which adds a little extra texture to the overall look. Toes are finished using gradual decreases creating a rounded toe construction that looks pretty and is also very comfortable to wear.
