This simple lace toe-up sock pattern is perfect for your everyday socks whether you’re pounding the city sidewalks, hanging out in your favorite art district, or playing frisbee at the local park. The back and forth movement of the lace alternating with solid stitched columns riffs on the fire escapes on former tenement buildings which are now being remodeled into urban lofts for bright and bold young people who are taking back the tenements in their own style.

The pattern includes three sizes and has a simple easy-to-memorize chart and directions to help create a sock that fits your foot.
