Wild Sage Socks
Wild Sage Socks were designed to match Wild Sage Mitts. Worked in heavier-weight sock yarn in an easily memorizable lace pattern, this pair of socks knits up very fast. You can also knit the socks in fingering-weight yarn using the larger size instructions.
The socks are knitted from the toe up in the round using either DPNs or magic loop. The pattern features my favorite gusset-and-flap heel construction that doesn’t require picking up stitches. Instructions are provided to adjust the length of the foot and leg to your measurements and preferences. Right and left socks are identical and can be worked two-at-a-time.
The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the lace pattern. The pattern assumes knowledge of some cast-on and bind-off method for toe-up socks as well as knowledge of working short rows using the wrap-and-turn method.
