Fiona’s Fancy is a sweet lace sock knit from the top down and featuring nupp accents at the top of the leg, an eye of partridge heel, and the option of using gradient yarns or one colour. Your purchase will include two pdfs - one for the gradient version and one for the solid. (The patterns are the same, I’ve just removed the instructions regarding colour changes from the solid version for clarity.)

The pattern includes both chart and written instructions.

SIZES AND FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:

  • One Size, (but quite a bit of stretch in the lace), to fit foot circumference 7.5-9”/19-23cm
