These unisex, cuff-down, mirrored socks feature an intarsia-like ribbed insert on a field of generated ‘text’ure that makes each sock unique. Directions are included to encode a message or honor your favorite text. The insert resembles a ribbon bookmark that showcases any contrasting yarn. Picked up stitches start the dimensional tab of the bead-tipped ribbon bookmark. These socks have a gusset heel, contrasting round toe, and folded cuff. Much of the sock is knit flat and is joined together with the insert. Directions are written with no charts. Photos are used to illustrate details of instructions.
