Discover the beauty of these lacy socks, featuring elegant columns of staggered eyelet lace and intricate rope cables. These socks are designed to be knit from the toe up, incorporating a triangular gusset and a square heel for a perfect fit. You have the flexibility to choose between a lovely low-mid calf height or stylish knee-high stockings. The knee-high version boasts a unique triangular-shaped calf gusset adorned with a charming small heart motif at the back of the knee, adding a delightful touch to your knitwear collection. Both versions are finished off with a delicate eyelet band and a beautiful picot edge cast-off, elevating the overall aesthetic of the socks.

To create the mid-calf version, you will need approximately 375-425 yards of sock-weight yarn, while the knee-high version requires around 450-500 yards. The sample is presented with an optional ribbon tie on the knee-high version, although it is important to note that the socks are designed to stay comfortably in place due to their stretchy stitch pattern, making the ribbon purely optional. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to challenge yourself, these lace socks will make a stunning addition to your handmade wardrobe. Enjoy knitting these unique and fashionable socks!
