Simple luxury is the idea behind these socks. Fine superwash alpaca paired with a lovely, textured lace stitch pattern makes these just-above-the-ankle length socks the most luxurious of treats to pamper your feet. Shorties are worked from the toe-up, starting with a wide toe. These socks have a Fleegle Heel, requiring no stitches to pick up. The pattern comes in five sizes according to foot circumference. The foot length is easily adjustable, which makes the size options almost limitless. Lace pattern is both written and charted.
