These socks start sideways with moons waxing and waning. Stitches are picked up for the cuff and then for the leg with lace that moves back and forth, highlighting the variegated yarn.

Waxing is when the moon is growing brighter until it is a full moon. Waning is the moon decreasing in brightness after a full moon.
