Inspired by the beauty and joy of springtime awakening! Knit cuff down in Magic Loop method with heel flap and gusset, this pattern features a very easy to knit (and easy to memorize) pretty chevron lace detail worked down the front of the leg of each sock. Easily adaptable for knitting with DPNS. Twisted rib for the cuff is repeated again for the heel--making for a robust as well as pretty heel. 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 experienced knitters who enjoy lace knitting. A chart is provided for quick reference for the lace detail. 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.
