Chautauqua Lake Socks

Introducing a beautiful, toe-up lace sock pattern designed to capture the essence of Chautauqua Lake, one of New York's most enchanting destinations. This elegant design is not only a tribute to this stunning area; it also showcases intricate lace and slipped stitch patterns that create a unique, visually appealing texture.

Chautauqua, located in western New York, holds a special place in my heart. My mother grew up in the nearby town of Jamestown, making our visits to this picturesque region filled with cherished memories. The name "Chautauqua" itself means “bag tied in the middle,” perfectly mirroring the narrow point known as Bemis Point, which is famous for its ferry and bridge crossing.

The sock pattern features two design alternatives for the back, allowing knitters to customize their creations. The cuff combines garter stitch and lace, adding a delightful finish. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills, this pattern is both engaging and rewarding.

Yardage requirements for this lovely sock are approximately 360 (380, 400) yards, making it an ideal project for using up some of your favorite yarn. Plus, rest assured that this pattern has been professionally tech edited to ensure clarity and accuracy, allowing you to focus solely on your knitting delight.
