• There’s a new fingering-weight version of this pattern coming on Saturday, June 1st! If you’ve purchased the DK version, watch for a discount code for the LITE!

The V-Formation Socks are knit in the round from the toe up using DK-weight yarn. This design features a repeating arrow lace design on the inseam similar to the V-formation Canada geese fly in when they migrate South for the winter. These socks have a Turkish heel (which has a heel flap and turn but no gusset), and instructions to make them ankle or crew socks, with a simple and comfortable ribbed cuff.

Extra-Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large)/XS (S, M, L, XL) to fit foot circumference 6” (7”, 8”, 9”, 10”)/15 cm (18 cm, 20.5 cm, 23 cm, 25.5 cm), measured around the ball of the foot (the widest part). The length and height are adjustable. If you find that you are in-between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your socks to fit snug or the larger size if you like a loose fit.

durability).
