Elegant and lacy, but also soft and warm, these socks are a fun knit and make a great gift. Made with hand-dyed fingering weight wool, they are both beautiful and practical, keeping your toes cozy and stylish. They are also fairly quick to knit, as the lace pattern is intuitive and easily remembered after a repeat or two. Enjoy!
