A simple lace sock for beginners, with the pattern both charted and written out. The lace pattern is a modified version of a mostly-stockinette wave pattern from The Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns, expanded to work with the desired stitch count, and mirrored for one foot so the waves flow in opposite directions on the two feet. The sock is worked toe-up, using a short-row heel and toe following the directions in Priscilla Gibson-Roberts’ Simple Socks: Plain and Fancy. The pattern includes a brief photo tutorial for the yarn-over short rows.
