Amaranth was said to be an imaginary flower that never fades. It has been referenced by writers like Aesop as a symbol of everlasting beauty and by Milton in Paradise Lost where the Amaranth grew alongside the tree of life.

Like the Amaranth flower itself, these lace socks are timeless and unfading. A classic style with delicate details and lasting appeal.

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for a toe-up sock with contrasting toes, heels and cuffs.

It is written for two needles using the Magic Loop method but any circular knitting method can be used. If using DPNs, “Needle 1” in pattern is interchangeable with Needles 1 and 2. “Needle 2” is interchangeable with Needles 3 and 4. Instructions are given for a short row heel and tips are given throughout the pattern on technique and how to adjust to desired fit and size.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit.
