This lovely, lacy sock:

  • is written for toe-up or top-down either one.
  • has a fairly easy pattern
  • is a formula, and the knitter may apply their own favorite toe/heel/cast off. I have included an “Elegant Toe(c),” plus pertinent links in case the knitter is unfamiliar with a different toe or heel technique.
  • is written in 12 possible size/yarn weight combinations involving 40, 48, 56, 64. and 72 stitches
  • is both written and charted

Due to the lace pattern, sock may fit more loosely after blocking.
