Heliotrope
Lace Socks Pattern
£6.00
I’m really proud of my Heliotrope lace socks pattern. They begin at the toe using Judy’s Magic Cast On and are gradually increased. When there are enough stitches, the charts are worked over the top of foot and stocking stitch on the sole until you reach desired length. A gusset is formed by increasing the sole sts either side, then worked back and forth in rows to make the heel. The work is then joined back into the round and then charts worked on front and back of the leg until you get to the rib cuff.
The pattern is written to fit a foot circumference of 20-23cm (7.75- 9in)
