Aura is very close to my heart, as it was my very first sock design. This pattern is the updated version of the first one. There is no significant difference between the two patterns, but this one is more detailed thanks to the experience I’ve gained over the years of designing.

In this pattern you can learn or practice the Twisted German Cast-on technique (also known as Old Norwegian Cast-on), an easy, yet very engaging lace pattern, called Cascading Leaves, and the Kitchener stitch.
The socks are knitted from the top down and come with three lengths of toe. Enjoy!
