Quantity:
A top-down unisex sock in seven sizes (XXS/XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL) with leg and foot in a simple allover tweed stitch. The easy to work knit/purl motif reveals a larger pattern of subtle diamonds as the fabric grows. Pattern can be easily reversed for toe-up construction and provides a sleek tone-on-tone effect in solid or nearly-solid colorways.
