Leafy lace socks
Get ready for the warmer weather with our beautiful and light, airy knitted lace socks! These stylish lacy socks incorporate two different, yet complementary leaf patterns, making them a delightful addition to your spring and summer wardrobe. The main lace panels on the front and back of the leg feature an intricate triple leaf motif that adds elegance to your feet. Meanwhile, a delicate single leaf pattern trails gracefully down each side of the leg and onto the foot, creating a visually stunning design.
Both motifs are 12 rows long, making it easy to keep track of your progress as you work through the pattern. The lace details not only provide a beautiful finish but also offer a great opportunity for knitters to enhance their skills. While our pattern currently offers a single size and configuration, it’s easy to adjust the size of the sock to suit your needs. For a smaller sock, simply use a smaller needle size. Alternatively, if you prefer a larger fit, consider adding an extra panel of the Triple Leaf chart to the back of the sock, adjusting stitch counts as necessary.
Size: The socks are designed to fit Women's Medium size, but thanks to the stretchy lace pattern, one size fits most. A stretchy cast-on method for the cuff (as described in the pattern) allows for a comfortable fit, accommodating larger legs easily.
Materials Needed: You will need 325 yards (297 m) of fingering sock yarn, which is approximately 3.5 oz or 437 yards (100g/400 m) or similar yarn type. Additionally, gather one set of 5 US #1 (2.5 mm) double-pointed needles to create these lovely socks. The combination of beautiful patterns and lightweight yarn makes these socks perfect for transitioning into the warmer months.
Whether you’re knitting as a gift or treating yourself, this lace sock pattern promises not only to enhance your knitting repertoire but also to introduce a charming accessory to your wardrobe. Dive into the world of lace knitting and enjoy crafting these enchanting socks!
