{"product_id":"chilton-socks","title":"Chilton Socks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chilton Socks are stylish and polished knit socks with a fold-over ruffle and a clean cabled design throughout the foot. They look beautiful styled with a variety of shoes including loafers, booties, and fun heels. Construction-wise, the socks are knit from the top down starting with the ruffle, which is knit alongside a short stockinette stitch section that is then folded over for a folded cuff. The sock employs a traditional heel flap and gusset as well as an anatomical toe for a better fit. Stay chic all year round with the Chilton Socks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 (2, 3) to fit foot circumference of 7 (8, 9) in [18, (20, 23) cm].

However, the pattern is written sometimes referring to needle 1 and needle 2 (N1 and N2) which is most intuitive for magic loop. You can also use stitch markers to denote N1 and N2 if you are using a different technique of working in the round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease tag me\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/midsummer.knits\/\"\u003e@midsummer.knits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand use the hashtag\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/search\/keyword\/?q=%23chiltonsocks\"\u003e#ChiltonSocks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto share on Instagram so I can see your finished object!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Midsummer Knits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100730482995,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/9538\/3347\/files\/1.png?v=1772491239","url":"https:\/\/midsummerknits.com\/products\/chilton-socks","provider":"Midsummer Knits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
