Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground. ”
– Garden Song, by David Mallett

Garden Song is a lace sock that turns a single color of yarn into a flourishing feat of footwear! Beginning at the toe, these socks use lace increases and twisted rib ‘inch by inch’ to create thriving blossoms up the middle of the sock. Beaded rib is worked along the sides of the main lace panel, creating clean lines that lengthen the foot and leg. Gusset increases allow for a comfortable fit and the turned heel creates triangular lines along the back of the leg. Three different ribbing lengths allow you to create ‘inch by inch’ the finishing touch you need. For an enjoyable knit of radiating beauty, you’ll want to be singing your own Garden Song!
