Cohesion is the word used to describe how water molecules tend to stay close to each other. The cute little lace pattern in these socks reminded me of the shape of water molecules, all snuggled together.

These shortie socks are knit cuff down, with a German short row heel, and a rounded toe. The lace pattern is simple and fun, and centered on the instep.

This pattern is written for magic loop, but is easy to change if you prefer a different method.
