This is a top-down, lacy, shortie sock with a garter-edge, traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel.

I love shortie socks in the spring and summer and when I saw this yarn, I knew it would be perfect for a streamy lace flowing down the foot.

I tend to go down a needle size when I knit lace socks due to the open holes in the fabric, that is why this sock is gauged with a US #0/2.0mm needle.

Gauge:

32 sts and 48 rnds = 4”/10 cm in lace pattern in the round on US #0/2.0mm needles

36 sts and 48 rnds = 4”/10 cm in st st in the round on US #0/2.0mm needles

Yarn:

Any fingering weight yarn will work for these socks. A solid, tonal, or lightly speckled yarn will work best with the lace pattern.
