Design, text, images and stitch motif Copyright Suzi Anvin, 2008.
Designed for the runner or sports enthusiast, these short-cuff socks proudly display a cable-knit runner dashing forwards on your ankle, peeking just over the tops of your sneakers. The motif continues around the sock with racing stripes of lace to keep you inspired and moving forwards. Treat your active feet to some custom made sock comfort, or knit up a pair as a quick gift for the athletics enthusiast in your life! Sock design is cuff down with a short row heel and grafted toe, with decreases placed for smoothest possible texture on those sensitive toes. Given the combination of cables and lace, I consider this an advanced design.
