Easy, breezy … that’s how the lace flows down the leg of these charming socks. Perfect for the beginner sock knitter, these cuff-down socks offer just the right amount of patterning to keep interest without overwhelm.

PATTERN NOTES
These socks are worked from the top down in the round. The heel is a standard flap construction.
The Lace pattern is both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (to the right) for your preference.
