| Description | The Kite Tails Socks is a toe-up design that features a cabled lace pattern framed on either side with 1 x 1 cables for the instep and stockinette stitch for the sole of the foot. Increases are then worked for the gusset, keeping in set pattern for the desired size. Short-rows are worked to complete the back of heel; the work is then joined back in the round and the pattern motif is worked around the leg. The cuff is worked in twisted rib and cables that flows from the cabled lace pattern to complete the sock. Only one sock needs to be finished for the test to be finished with test. |

| Requirements from the maker |

Keep track of yardage used and final circumference measurements. Please check in through the Chat occasionally to let me know your progress. Please do not modify the pattern. The pattern states that the foot/leg length is adjustable so those parts can be worked to desired length. Take one finished photo in natural light (does not need to be modeled) as use that picture for the first picture on the project page. Fill out the Feedback form. |
