Fingering (14 wpi) ?
10 stitches = 1 inch
in lace pattern. 9sts = 1" in stockinette
US 1 - 2.25 mm
350 - 440 yards (320 - 402 m)
Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This pattern is toe-up with a short-row wrap heel using either the Magic Loop method or Double-Point needles. It is easily adapted to cuff-down if you prefer to work them like that.

Fits feet that are 8 1/2” at the widest point, but I’ve included instructions for creating a custom fit. I recommend increasing to 66st total for the average foot size.

I used KP Palette, KP Essential sock, and Over the Rainbow Twinkletoes yarns in my test socks. You can use any light fingering or regular fingering weight yarn. As with any project, just be sure to check your gauge! The lace pattern is stretchy, soft, and warm.

Feel free to shoot me a message should you have any questions or comment. Happy Knitting!
