This is a pattern for those sock knitters out there who have some experience; I won’t be detailing stuff like heel flaps and heel turns. Use whatever heel flap, heel turn and toe are your favourites. The pattern is written for magic loop.

I wanted to create something a little different, and to have a go at designing a sock pattern. There are so many out there, but now there’s a little bit of me too. This was made for a fellow Raveller who visited me from Australia, and while she was here she bought me some pretty sock yarn. I wanted to do something especially for her as well.

Any sock yarn will work, but it will show the lace pattern off best if the colour is solid or semi-solid. I only have little feet, as did the recipient of these socks, so there was heaps of the ball left when I’d finished. If you can usually get a pair of socks out of a 100gm ball, then you shouldn’t need any extra for this pattern.
