Do you want to knit socks, but it’s still too warm where you live? How about a lacy ankle sock!

This is an intermediate pattern, but I’ve included some resources below for adventurous beginners or if you need a refresh on some of the skills used.

You like charts? I have charts. You hate charts? I have written instructions. Download whichever you prefer (or both!) - there is also a printer friendly version available.

This pattern has been tested in all sizes, but not tech edited.

Skills

• Knitting in the round
• Provisional cast-on or picking up cast-on stitches
• Decreasing (K2Tog, SSK, SK2P)
• German short rows (or other short row method of your choice)
• Heel flap and gusset (or substitute whichever heel you prefer)
• Lace (chart or written)
• Kitchener Stitch
