I had to make up a pattern as the usual ones were way too big with Emily yarn.
I'm a size 6 UK shoe but narrow fitting. I used 52 stitches, a 2x2 twisted rib, which I love, and I added a motif on each side of the sock and one on the top of the foot to make them less boring. The pattern is simply a lace chart from Cookie's Monkey sock but mirrored below. The ssk and k2tog are reversed on the bottom bit. If that makes sense. Anyway it was fun and the sock fits perfectly now.

Gorgeous socks. I've been wanting to try Emily for ages and just ordered some from Posh. Didn't get my first choice of colour so got somethign else instead. My first choice was a gorgeous purple/lilac colour but it went before I had time to check out.  Can't wait to try it.
