Agrimonia Socks

The **Agrimonia Socks** floral motif was inspired by the agrimonia flowers which bloom on a plant spike, arranged in a linear fashion. These socks provide a touch of botanical elegance for those who admire nature’s beauty. These socks are worked toe-up with a wedge toe, a gusset, a slipped stitch heel and a decorative bind off. A textured pattern with lace flowers is worked on the top of the foot and around the leg. The pattern offers the option to work a regular or a high instep. The sample is shown in size 4 with a high instep. **Sizing** Sizes 1 (**2, 3**) (4, 5, 6) correspond to a sock of 56 (**60, 64**) (68, 72, 76) sts and are designed to fit a leg/foot circumference of approx. 17.5 (**18.5, 20**) (21, 22, 23) cm / 7 (**7.25, 7.75**) (8.25, 8.75, 9)".
