The Spine Socks are a combination of rib, lace and texture that mimics what I think is the look of a spine or fish bones! The pattern is easily memorized and fun to knit. This design will look great in any yarn!

This pattern includes instructions for a German Short Row Heel but I highly encourage substituting your favorite short row heel!
