LA Lady socks are knit toe up in the round using a seamless cast on, no gusset shaping, and a short row heel. While the pattern is overall fairly simple, the beads offer a nice change of pace while knitting and keep things interesting. A light blocking is recommended to make your beads really pop and shine through the cables.
