The Lacemaker

These beautifully designed socks feature a subtly lacy cable that runs elegantly along the length of the front and down the back, seamlessly integrating through the heel flap. They're the perfect accessory for backless clogs, allowing you to showcase a stunning sock heel. This decorative heel design was inspired by Peggy, a talented creator of exquisite bobbin lace, making these socks not just functional but also a work of art.

Finished Sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L) with circumferences of 7” (18 cm), 8” (20 cm), and 9” (23 cm) around, respectively, measured unstretched. These measurements ensure a snug yet comfortable fit for a variety of foot sizes, making them an ideal gift for loved ones or a personal treat.

Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Neighborhood Fiber Company Studio Sock, a luxurious blend of 100% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon. Each skein contains 400 yards (100g) of soft, durable yarn, ensuring that your socks are not only cozy but also long-lasting. The sample pair in this pattern was knit using the stunning Columbus Circle colorway, which brings a vibrant touch to the intricate lace pattern.

Needles: You will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 1 US (2.5 mm) or the appropriate size to achieve the specified gauge. This flexibility allows knitters of different preferences to easily complete the project.

Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, ensure you maintain a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette, working in the round. Proper gauge is crucial for ensuring your socks fit well and highlight the stunning lace detail that defines this pattern.

This sock pattern combines elegance with practicality, making it a perfect addition to any knitter's collection. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you’ll enjoy the intricate details and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful to wear.
