Afternoon Tea Socks Cuff Down

Thank you so much for being here! I'd like to introduce your to my new pattern the Afternoon Tea Socks Collection. There are three beautiful patterns included: **Vintage Tea Cup Socks** - Rhythmic cables and easy eyelets, these socks are 'potato chip knitting'; you'll find yourself going for 'just one more repeat'. **Tea Leaves Socks** - Delicate eyelet and twisted stitch texture, these socks are a very intuitive and easily memorized 4 round repeat. Great 'anytime knitting'. **Cake & Pastry Socks** - Sweet little columns of cables and eyelets. This 16 rnd pattern repeat is fun and easy to follow. This collection is constructed cuff down. If you would like the toe up construction you can find it here: [Afternoon Tea Socks Toe Up](/patterns/library/afternoon-tea-socks-toe-up) These patterns come with a heel flap and gusset construction and 4 sizes. And for the first time, I have included three different mix and match cuff options. A Twisted Rib, Picot Folded, and Ruffle Cuff.
