I love drinking hot coffee while watching a glorious sunrise. These top-down shorty socks incorporate uncomplicated lace techniques and twisted ribbing to depict both coffee cups and the rising sun with its reaching rays. (Or if you prefer—TEA and a sunrise!)

The reinforced heel includes decreases on the bottom of the foot, creating an elegant, strong, and well-fitting heel cup.

Pattern includes video tutorials, charts, and clear written instructions.

Pattern is accessible to an advanced beginner looking to learn a few techniques, but also engaging for the experienced lace knitter.

The pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
