Kelsey is a lovely California born and raised girl living in Sweden, brave enough to take on the rather harsh Swedish winters. She needed knee-high fingering weight socks for her boots and asked me about it, I found it quite an inspiring task. The sample pair has a cable lace pattern on the front of the foot and leg of one sock. On the other sock the stitch pattern shows up on the back of the leg.
The pattern describes both variations so you can knit 2 socks with the cable lace pattern on the back, or a pair with the cable lace pattern on the front, or one of each like the sample. The pattern is written for magic loop, but it can easily be transformed to be knitted on DPN:s. The socks are worked toe-up and the pattern includes the afterthought heel with a gusset, and that is a roomy deep heel for people that finds the ordinary afterthought heel too narrow. If you prefer you can use an ordinary afterthought heel instead, or your favourite toe-up short row heel. The leg has increases all the way to the knee. Close to a full 100 grams skein of a tonal, semi solid or solid fingering sock yarn was used, and for toes, heels and cuffs also 30-50 grams of a colour close to the main colour, or the same as the main colour.
The pattern is test knitted.
