Column of Leaves Toe-up Sock

Introducing our beautifully designed toe-up sock knitting pattern that features a faux flap heel and a rich combination of stitch techniques. This delightful sock is knit from the toe up, ensuring a comfortable and customizable fit for your feet. The reinforced toe and heel bottom are worked in Fabric Stitch, providing durability and support where you need it most. Flanking both the inner and outer sides of the sock, you will find an elegant "beaded" ribbing that adds texture and visual interest, perfectly complementing the main lace design.
The standout "Columns of Leaves" lace pattern elegantly adorns the instep and both the front and back of the leg. This intricate pattern truly shines when knit in solid or monochromatic tonal yarns, allowing the lacework to take center stage. Accompanied by a clear lace pattern chart, this project is as enjoyable to knit as it is stunning to wear.
