Chausettes de Lavande (Lavender Socks) are lightweight slipper socks perfect for wearing during spring and summer months. A pretty lavender bud stitch is used up the heel, along the sides and down the toe. Adding the optional crocheted picot edging is a pretty detail (directions for a knitted picot edging is also given for non-crocheters;) These pretty socks knit up quickly and make a very special gift!
