Named for the Galveston Historic Seawall, Seawall Socks are beautifully textured lace socks with a sweet scalloped cuff. Knit toeup, Seawall Socks are a fun knit complete with ribbing and lace. The sole of the foot is worked in simple Stockinette for a smooth under-foot fabric, and the 2x2 ribbing on the back of the leg gently hugs your calf while showcasing beautiful lace on the front. The lace pattern is uncomplicated but keeps your mind engaged in the stitching process.

This pattern, along with ten more Texas-inspired designs, can be found in issue ten of Nomadic Knits, which is available now.
