Ceilidh Socks

These stunning lace socks showcase two intricate Celtic lace patterns, drawing inspiration from the Gaelic word "ceilidh" (pronounced kay-leigh), which signifies a lively social gathering often filled with entertainment and joyful dancing. The standout feature of these socks is the large lace panel that elegantly extends down the front, reminiscent of the traditional lace-up design found in Irish dancing shoes for girls. Complementing this design, three smaller yet beautifully coordinated lace cable panels gracefully run up the back of the leg, adding a touch of sophistication and charm.

For added versatility, the foot length of these lace socks can be easily customized by incorporating rounds of stockinette prior to beginning the toe decreases. This means you can tailor the fit to your preferences, ensuring maximum comfort while showcasing your knitting skills.
