“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” C.S. Lewis

Knit cuff down in Magic Loop method with heel flap and gusset, this pattern features a very easy to knit (and easy to memorize) decorative petite cable-like lace & rib detail worked down the front of the leg of each sock. Easily adaptable for knitting with DPNS. Wedge Toe instructions are given in this pattern, but feel free to use your favorite toe (or heel) constructions. With a combination of simple and step-up stitches, this pattern is ideal for adventurous beginner sock knitters, but also enjoyable for knitters with experience who enjoy lace knitting. I have knit the model socks in a deliciously soft alpaca-wool blend, but use your favorite 4 ply/fingering weight sock yarn. A solid or tonal/semi-solid color yarn looks very attractive for this design, but also well suited for the special gently speckled yarns. Several sizes to choose from!
