Tuil-Bheum, the rushing torrent of water caused by a sudden burst of rain, is captured in the flowing cascading lace down the side of these socks. Knit from the toe up with a gusset and heel flap, these socks are the perfect mix of relaxing knit and engaging pattern with a simple easy to learn lace pattern. With three widths and flexible length fitting, these are a great pattern for everyone.

The pattern is fully written and includes charts for the lace pattern so however you like to read your patterns, you’re covered! The pattern also includes a photo tutorial for German short rows used in the heel. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. You will also need to know how to do Judy’s Magic Cast-On and a stretchy bind off like Jeny’s Suprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off.
