Citrus Socks are colourwork socks featuring a decorative ruffled cuff and an adapted star toe. The design combines structured colourwork motifs with detailing and precise shaping.

The socks are worked top-down, beginning with a ruffled cuff that transitions into the stranded colourwork section. The colourwork motif is worked in the round and is carefully proportioned across sizes to maintain visual balance and motif clarity.

Heel construction is shaped for a comfortable, anatomical fit (you can specify heel type if desired), and the foot continues in colourwork as written. Foot length is fully adjustable to ensure an individual fit.

The socks are finished with an adapted star toe, which provides:
• Symmetrical, evenly distributed decreases
• A clean geometric finish
• Excellent fit and structure

Sizes

EU 33–45

Multiple stitch counts are provided to accommodate a wide range of foot circumferences. The grading maintains motif integrity while scaling the pattern proportionally between sizes.
