Hoopoes
The PDF contains charts only, without any written instructions. You need to be familiar with basic sock construction. I don’t explain how to knit heels and toes.
The socks are 68sts. wide; the length of the stranded part between heel and toe can be adjusted to feet US sizes from 6 to10. The embroidery you see on the sample pair is optional; you can do fine with just two contrasting colors (which don’t have to be black and white, in that case).
The sample pair isn’t mirrored (the two socks are the same).
But if you like mirrored better, there is a chart for that in the PDF.
