These socks are knit from the top down with a slip stitch heel flap and square toe shaping. Instructions are included for modifying for large lower calves and ankles. They are sized from 1 through 6. There are only two stitch count instructions included, so the differences in size will be obtained by a difference in gauge. About the design in the socks:
“Many people recognize the Mitsuuroko as the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda. This symbol makes up the main pattern in this sock design. The Mitsuuroko was the Hojo family symbol and can be found on many buildings and temples in Japan. Mitsuuroko translates to “three scales.” As the legend goes, Tokimasa Hojo prayed that his descendants would be prosperous. Then, the dragon god came and granted his request. When the dragon god left, he left behind three scales. The three triangles that make up the ‘Triforce’ symbolize the three scales left behind, thus the name Mitsuuroko.”
