This simple pattern has just enough interest to keep it fun, but is very simple and relaxing to knit and won’t take away from a lovely self-striping yarn. The lace panels are on the outside of either foot, and I used an afterthought heel in order to maintain the stripes in the yarn. This pattern is written cuff down but could easily be adapted for toe-up, and a different heel could absolutely be used if the afterthought heel isn’t preferred.

Size: S, (M, L) The length is easily adjusted.
