This sock is part of a sock design tutorial. More information on how it was designed is available by clicking on the linked post.

From Pattern Notes:

“This sock has toe shaping and

the lace pattern is slightly different on each to align
with the lace pattern at the toe. This pattern is not well
suited to being adapted to knitting two socks
simultaneously. There isn’t a single round where the
socks will match each other as they are designed to be
mirror images.“

“The number of stitches required for the lace

pattern at the leg make it difficult to design this sock for
a small foot. I would recommend a smaller needle size
to get a slightly tighter gauge if you want a smaller size
sock.“
