Bethesda socks are slightly inspired by the geometric shapes that can be seen on the terrace of the same name in Central Park, New York. The socks are knitted from top to toe using the mosaic technique and are designed to fit a medium size circumference. Since the large motif repeat makes it impossible to change de stitch count, I recommend either using thinner yarn and smaller needles or larger yarn and larger needles to adjust the size up or down.
