Foxglove Socks mimics the grace of the foxglove plant with their elegant bells standing tall over the ground.

Construction
The socks are worked toe-up. After provisional cast on you knit the toe section, followed by the lace section with stockinette stitch on the sole. The heel is shaped with short rows and shadow wraps. The heel can be substituted with most types of heel constructions. The socks are finished off with a seed-stitch ribbing and crochet picot bind-off.
