These casual yet feminine socks feature an unusual lace pattern starting below the cuff and transitioning diagonally into ribbing around the ankle. The ribbing continues over the instep to give added comfort.

These socks are worked from the cuff down. The pattern provides options for varying leg and foot lengths.

Skills/Techniques Required:

  • Basic sock knitting skills
  • Following charted stitch patterns
  • Simple lace
  • Grafting using kitchener stitch

A kCDesigns version of this pattern, already set up for use in KnitCompanion, is available through Create2Thrive.
