Opus 1800

Lace sock in semi-solid or solid-colour 4ply (light fingering) sock yarn, with multicoloured lace top edge and contrast piping. There are two separate, fully-written patterns for knitting cuff-down and toe-up, and both patterns include options to knit the sock with a small, medium or large number of sts per row. You can further adjust the width of the sock by using one of two needle sizes. That gives a total of 2 sock-knitting methods and 5 width-adjustments. Foot length is infinitely adjustable.
