These delightful ankle socks boast an ankle circumference of 18 cm (7 inches), 20.5 cm (8 inches), or 23 cm (9 inches), making them a perfect fit for a range of sizes. The pattern is thoughtfully written in both English and Japanese, catering to a diverse knitting audience and enhancing accessibility for knitters around the globe. These unique Osaka-jo socks were conceived during a memorable conversation between the designer and Eylul Yarns, who orchestrated this collaboration.
