This is on my Want-To-Knit List for quite some while already. I am not too keen on lace for socks, but I love leave patterns, so this one is something I want to try. I will not make them sneakers, but did 2 pattern repeats after the ribbing before starting the heel flap. In addition, I will do my normal “Herzchenferse”, not the German heel described in the pattern.

Finished - and I used exactly 1 ball of yarn, I only had about 8 cm left to close the toe, which is why I did not graft the second toe, but just pulled the yarn through the loops. Really like the pattern - it is fun to knit, but not too complicated and you can easily see what to do when once you got the hang of it. I love the leave pattern - even more when NOT streched, so I think I will have to use it again in something other than socks - but I highly recommend this sock pattern - thank you so much for sharing it for free!
