Description
This knitting pattern PDF is for the Euphyllia Lace Socks. These socks have a moving eyelet pattern set in panels of stocking stitch separated by purl stitches. The pattern is worked around the leg and continues down the front of the foot. When the sock is worn, the lace detail stretches out over the leg and foot; it is very eye-catching and pretty.
These socks look great knitted in a solid colour, a speckle or a colour fade, so grab a skein out of your stash and get knitting!!
These socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a slipped-stitch heel flap for durability.
The lace pattern is worked over an 8-stitch, 16-round repeat from charted or written instructions. The instructions are for working in rounds on double-pointed needles, but alternatively the magic-loop method may be used if preferred.
The Euphyllia Lace Socks require intermediate knitting skills.
