DESCRIPTION
Cuff-down socks, with the traditional Shetland lace pattern: Crest of the Wave. While written for a women’s M (8″ foot circumference), at 9 sts/ inch; it can easily be adapted for other sizes just by changing the gauge and lengthening/ shortening the foot. It’s an easy, basic sock that’s perfect for new sock knitters.
