Lady Aston Sock

This stunning sock pattern is designed to be worked from the top down, offering knitters a delightful project to enhance their skills. The unique combination of two of my favorite techniques—cables and lace—creates a modern and elegant twist on classic argyle design. You'll appreciate the subtle yet pleasing mirroring of the pattern placement on the two socks, making them a perfect matching pair that stands out.

Crafted with comfort and functionality in mind, this sock pattern features all my top-down sock essentials: a flap and gusset heel for an impeccable fit, complemented by a band heel turn. I’ve incorporated a reinforcement pattern into both the heel flap and the heel turn, ensuring durability where socks typically wear out. Plus, say goodbye to cumbersome grafting with the specially designed no-graft toe that not only fits beautifully but also simplifies your knitting experience.

This pattern is versatile, as it can be knitted using any type of needles you prefer—whether you choose traditional double-pointed needles (DPNs), flexible magic loop, or two circulars. Additionally, I've included plenty of helpful tips and techniques throughout the pattern to guide you along your knitting journey. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, this pattern will offer you both challenge and enjoyment, culminating in a sophisticated pair of socks to show off or gift to someone special.
