Fiber Dreams Edelweiss socks are
based on old twisted stitch motifs from Austria. These socks sport a
combination of tulips and staggered chains of windows. They are knit cuff down,
with simplified patterning on the heel flap, and tulips all the way to the tip
of the toe. The stitch patterns are charted and written out.
