This is a toe-up women’s’ sock pattern for UK size 5-8 feet. It is written for magic loop knitting. The simple lace pattern is interspersed with very short rib sections for an extra stretchy fit. These socks finish with a picot edging for a feminine touch.

These socks were partly inspired by the “cherished” colourway of Nurturing Fibre Supertwist Sock Wool available at naturalyarns.co.za, and partly inspired by blossoming friendships I see developing online through Ravelry. A little reminder too, to cherish the people we see regularly, as much as those who are only online friends.

A HUGE thanks to my test knitters, ginaross and diner for their helpful input. And a big shout out to my tech editor knitsforklipskaap! You rock!!
