With the snow finally starting to melt, the sun shining much more brightly and sweet little seedlings growing in my windowsill, I was in the mood to make some springy lace socks. Socks are among my favorite warmer weather projects; portable, compact and as challenging as you desire. The Sweet Jean Socks are knit from the top down and the lacy stitch pattern makes for an entertaining knit. The stitch stands out best in a solid or semisolid colorway. Pattern has been tested and approved :-)
