Fiber Dreams 53 Doric PDF

The Greeks and Romans inspire Fiber Dreams Doric socks. There were three main types of columns used in ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The columns are Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian. The easy, clean lines of the stitch in these socks remind me of the simplest of the three column types, Doric. Socks are knit from the cuff down in the round. The number of pattern stitches decreases to a point on the top of the foot as it nears the toe. The stitch pattern is charted and written out.
